Background:
The Indian Army is investing heavily in unmanned aerial, ground, and maritime platforms for intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance and strike missions.
As these capabilities evolve, so do the threats against them. High-value targets are often protected by advanced electronic warfare systems, including GNSS jammers designed to prevent autonomous platforms from reaching or operating in the target area.
A demonstration was conducted in India for the Indian Army to prove that autonomous systems can complete their mission even under heavy GNSS interference and complete GNSS denial.
The Challenge:
Modern military missions require unmanned platforms to maintain accurate navigation all the way to the target, even in areas protected by strong GNSS jamming.
Traditional anti-jamming systems can extend operational range and delay GNSS loss, but in severe environments, GNSS may still become entirely unavailable. At that point, conventional navigation can fail, causing route deviation, loss of mission accuracy, failsafe activation, or mission abort.
For the Indian Army, the requirement was not only to protect GNSS signals, but to ensure uninterrupted mission continuity even after complete GNSS loss.
