C-UAS bubble for VA/VP Protection Using GNSS Jamming

The modern-day conflicts world over has seen cost effective solutions being employed to attack VAs/APs/HVTs. These include employment of loitering ammunition, UAS, Drone Swarms etc. Many of these attack vectors use some form of electronic guidance and control signals to navigate towards the target. The need to protect Vulnerable Areas (VAs) and Vulnerable Points (VPs) from UAS, precision guided weapons/ missiles/ loitering munitions that uses Satellite Positioning Systems/Mobile networks is of primary importance. Such UAS/weapons are using technology like hybrid navigation system based on Inertial Navigation System (lNS), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and 2G/ 4G/ 5G networks, there is thus a felt need for creation of an electronic Protection Dome for VA/VPs/HVTs with a range of 25-30 kms. The electronic Dome would provide soft kill options for any incoming threat vector and prevent electronic spectrum fratricide thereby giving freedom of operation for own assets.
