IAI, Honeywell team up for jam-proof GPS

Israel Aerospace Industries and Honeywell Aerospace are teaming up to develop a GPS anti-jam navigation system.

Under the memorandum of understanding, the two companies will combine IAI’s existing ADA GPS anti-jamming system with Honeywell’s embedded GPS Inertial Navigation System.

“The ADA system will be integrated as a subsystem, or as an embedded module into Honeywell’s navigation systems,” according to an IAI news release. “The joint solution is applicable to military navigation applications (SAASM / P(Y) Code) and has the provisioning to support future directives of the GPS directorate (M-Code).”

“The joint product can be deployed as a turn-key solution or as an upgrade to IAI and Honeywell’s existing customer base,” Boaz Levi, an IAI executive vice president, said.
