Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced on 29 January 2025 that it has successfully integrated its ADA global satellite navigation system (GNSS) anti-jamming system with the new M-code GPS military receiver for an international customer. The integration enables the ADA system to deal with evolving and emerging threats to GNSS signals.
The ADA system hardens military platforms against jamming by protecting against radio frequency (RF) interference. Successfully integrating it with a military-standard M-Code GPS receiver provides a powerful combination for enhanced immunity from GPS jamming. In ground tests and flight tests, the ADA system, together with the M-code receiver, demonstrated its effectiveness in suppressing attacks on GPS signals, IAI noted.
The ADA product portfolio, developed by IAI, is compatible with a broad range of GNSSs. Its state-of-the-art technology implements multiple mitigation methods and specialised digital signal processing algorithms, according to IAI, which says the system’s versatility facilitates its integration into numerous platforms.
“The modern battlefield is saturated with increasingly sophisticated GNSS jamming systems that are posing a growing threat to military operations worldwide,” IAI President and CEO Boaz Levy was stated as saying in an IAI press release. “As Israel’s centre of excellence for navigation, we take pride in our ADA system: a resilient navigation solution to meet emerging GNSS jamming challenges. Like the Arrow-3 [anti-ballistic missile] system developed some years ago, which is still relevant to current threats, ADA was designed flexibly to address both current and future challenges. Achieving the milestone of M-Code compliance will enable our customers to have a robust navigation solution for their most up-to-date operational requirements. Systems produced by IAI have demonstrated excellence in handling the challenges of the modern battlefield, and we are confident in their ability to also deal optimally with those in the future.”
Guy Barlev, executive vice president of IAI’s Systems, Missiles & Space Group, added, “By combining the ADA system with M-Code, our solution offers unparalleled protection against both GPS jamming and spoofing threats and takes GPS immunity to the next level. In recent modern conflicts, the ADA GNSS anti-jamming system has proven itself as a reliable and combat-excellence solution. Its robustness and effectiveness have been tested in various operational scenarios, ensuring the continuity of GPS-based operations and maintaining assured position, navigation and timing (PNT) for military platforms. With its proven track record in modern conflicts with thousands of flight hours and the integration with M-Code receiver, this system offers unmatched GPS immunity and combat-readiness, making it the ideal choice for military users.”
