NautelNav participates in deployable eLoran concept

NautelNav has announced its participation in a new concept for a field-deployable eLoran station. It could result in the procurement of a number of operational systems for multiple defence organizations worldwide. A deployable eLoran station enables quick replacement of PNT (Position, Navigation, and Timing) systems, such as GPS, that may be jammed or spoofed by hostile entities. Temporary, rapidly deployable eLoran systems, each with a collapsible/portable antenna, are much more difficult to jam and can help ensure mission success in a battlefield arena. Nautel global partner UrsaNav® is teaming with QinetiQ, Roke, and GMV to develop the concept. https://nautelnav.com

Boosting navigation for French army vehicles

Eviden and Thales have announced the integration of Thales’ Galileo PRS capability into Eviden’s P3TS military satellite navigation receiver, used by the French army. It strengthens the resilience of the army’s vehicle positioning system by improving its resistance to electronic warfare threats, including jamming and spoofing, while ensuring the integrity and security of positioning data in highly contested operational environments. The solution will be available in two configurations. The first integrates the TopStar Galileo PRS Core Module, providing access to Galileo PRS signals alongside Galileo and GPS open-service signals. The second combines either GPS or the TopStar Smart Receiver, adding advanced anti-jamming capabilities to the later. www.thalesgroup.com
