COMPACT ADA – Reduced SWaP for Airborne Tactical Platforms
- A tactical system that protects avionic systems from GNSS jamming.
- Compact ADA has already been integrated into several systems and platforms both in Israel and abroad and has accumulated thousands of operational flight hours.
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is unveiling Compact ADA – an advanced system that protects avionic systems from GNSS jamming. Compact ADA – reduced Size, Weight and Power (SWaP), jam resistant GNSS system for airborne tactical platforms.
Most navigation, communication, and warfare systems integrated into modern platforms depend on the continuous availability of GPS/GNSS signals. GNSS signal jamming and interference, easily achieved by cheap, low-end equipment, can seriously degrade GNSS Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) even to the point of total solution denial.
The Compact ADA system maintains assured PNT (Position, Navigation and Timing) by overcoming GNSS jamming, and ensuring that also tactical platforms can continue operation with consistent GNSS availability.
Compact ADA is a derivative of the ADA system adapted to air tactical platforms. The Compact ADA allows to benefit from the advanced immunity capabilities of ADA also in tactical platforms.
The ADA product portfolio, developed by IAI, is compatible with a broad range of satellite navigation systems (GNSS). Its state-of-the-art technology implements multiple mitigation methods and specialized digital signal processing algorithms. The system’s versatility facilitates the integration in numerous platforms.
Jacob Galifat, General Manager of the IAI/MALAM Division: “Facing today’s threats to GNSS, these systems are a must, for any platform using GPS, or any other Global Satellite Navigation Systems. Our operationally proven systems will ensure the availability of GPS- and GNSS-based systems, even in the most contested, EW-saturated battle-space. Considering the operational challenges, this system has considerable export potential for many air forces and armies who experience GNSS jamming in combat zones”.
IAI has over 20 years of proven experience in supplying a wide range of GNSS Anti-Jam solutions for the most demanding requirements, and vast experience in integration immune navigation solutions into airborne (manned and UAV), surface, maritime and guided munitions.
