AGNOSIS Anti-Jamming GNSS includes CRPA antenna with 4 or 8 antenna array configuration and 1 signal processing unit with multi receive channels.
Signals acquired by CRPA are digitized with high dynamic range receivers and processed by a signal processing unit. Jamming signals are filtered by using signal processing techniques, and the original signal without the jamming signal, is reconstructed again for delivering to standard GNSS receivers.
Meteksan Defence can develop and produce platform specific GNSS receiver systems with anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities, which can output precise position and velocity information.
In order to suppress jamming signals, spatial filtering methods are utilized. Phased array antennas are used for spatial filtering with respect to incoming signal direction, and jamming signals are separated from GNSS signals. Depending on the number of antennas used in spatial filtering, more than one jamming signal can be nullified. It is possible to determine the direction of the GNSS signals by using phased array antennas. By using this information, while powerful jamming signals are nullified by the anti-jamming system, GNSS spoofing signals can also be filtered.

KAPAN Counter Drone System offers precise drone detection and tracking performance with Radar and Electro-Optic system combinations and artificial intelligence integrated algorithms. Besides its detection and tracking capability, KAPAN allows neutralization of drones with an RF Jammer.
The target drone, when detected and tracked, is identified with the thermal / day cameras. Then precise positioning and tracking are performed. More than one system can be used depending on the characteristics of the protected area. Command and control software enables targets to be fused and viewed as a single track on a common operation picture. Information on the direction and position of the target drone is provided by sensors and can be assigned to RF jammer for neutralization.
Different sensors and countermeasure components can be mounted on vehicles or masts etc. and it is possible to integrate each component in varying numbers according to the requirements of the area to be protected. In this way, effective solutions can be achieved both in terms of performance and cost.
