Description

Operations against near peer adversaries will occur in aggressive electronic warfare (EW) environments. Problematically, widely used GPS signals are inherently weak, and can be easily overwhelmed by malicious, or interfering signals, thus vulnerable to jamming. Current anti-jamming/anti-spoofing systems are of varying degrees of effectiveness, with additional size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) considerations not in keeping with use on small munitions. Most notably, antenna layer solutions such as CRPAs are highly effective, but particularly burdensome in size, when needing to protect against large numbers of interferers. In the proposed work, Novaa will advance an algorithmic, single antenna anti-jamming solution, capable of suppressing large numbers of interferance sources, thereby providing resilient access to GPS navigation despite contested environments.
