It will use GLONASS navigation when jamming signals
SUZDAL /Vladimir region/, February 18. /tass/. An interference-resistant antenna for the control, navigation and communication equipment of the combat equipment kit will allow the Russian army to access GLONASS signals even in conditions of electronic suppression. Ashot Oganesyan, Deputy Director of the Moscow branch of JSC VNIIR-Progress, told TASS about this during the Navigation-2021 conference.
"At the moment, there are very compact solutions for antenna arrays, including portable ones, which can be used complete with combat equipment ("Warrior" and others - approx. TASS), developed for law enforcement agencies," he said.
According to him, it is possible to simply single out one specific range and ensure its reception even if navigation signals are jammed by electronic warfare (EW).
"We have carried out a number of initiative works and demonstrated at the landfills that such noise-resistant digital antenna arrays work effectively in difficult conditions. It is possible to give a fighter a special antenna of the same size, weighing 50-60 grams, instead of one ordinary antenna, which will provide a navigation signal under the influence of interference," Oganesyan said.
As the representative of the enterprise noted, it should be possible for special consumers to provide so-called selective access. "Suppose that in a certain region where special events are being held, you have to restrict access to open navigation signals for terrorists and militants. This can be realized by installing a powerful interference source that suppresses all navigation satellite signals, and using digital noise-resistant adaptive arrays in the interests of their own forces and means. Thus, in a certain region, the exclusive right of law enforcement agencies to satellite navigation signals is being implemented," he explained.
JSC "VNIIR-Progress" is engaged in the development and production of scientific and technical products and products for military equipment and general industrial equipment, including noise-resistant navigation equipment based on digital antenna array technologies.
