Advancing Land Navigation Systems to Counter GPS Spoofing and Jamming

Inertial navigation technology has transformed military navigation systems by enabling autonomous and reliable position data, independent of GPS or external signals.

Developed by Litton Industries, a predecessor of Northrop Grumman LITEF , this technology has been in use since the 1960s and continues to evolve to meet modern military needs. The company’s latest developments in land navigation systems, particularly the LLN-G1 integrated into the Leopard 2 A7V, play a crucial role in countering GPS jamming and spoofing, ensuring mission success in contested environments.

Anti-Drone System Demonstrates Complex Drone Swarm Attack Prevention

Indra has demonstrated the ability of its Crow anti-drone system to interoperate with all kinds of systems and adapt to each mission and type of attack during the Anti-Drone Interoperability Exercises (TIE24) organized by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA).

The Crow systems could respond to a range of attack types, including those in which swarms of drones modified to resist countermeasures are used.?

Juan López Campos , Indra’s head of the solution, explained that, “Crow’s command and control system provides each army with complete freedom to configure the system to best meet its needs.?

“The solution is capable of operating in combination with the command and control systems of other allied countries, while it can also be integrated into the future combat cloud.”

Laser Air Defense System Completes Live-Fire Trials

The UK Ministry of Defence ’s new laser self-protection system for air defense has defeated 100% of targets in successful live-fire trials, progressing toward equipping RAF pilots with the technology.?

During the trial at the Vidsel Test Range in Sweden, the operational system defeated a range of infrared heat-seeking missiles being fired simultaneously.?

All threats were quickly defeated using a laser with pinpoint accuracy, which has been designed and developed by the Team Pellonia partnership between Leonardo UK, 泰雷兹 UK, and the MoD’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, Dstl .
