Edge Microwave examines the challenges of maintaining resilient Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in increasingly contested radio-frequency (RF) environments in its HEDGE-8016 whitepaper.
GNSS is a critical technology across modern civilian, industrial, and defense platforms, supporting applications including autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial systems, maritime navigation, telecommunications, critical infrastructure, and precision-guided systems. However, growing reliance on GNSS is accompanied by increasing exposure to intentional interference, including jamming and spoofing.
As RF threats become more sophisticated, multi-band, wideband, and multi-source interference can challenge conventional single-band anti-jam architectures. The HEDGE-8016 addresses these requirements through a multi-band Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) approach designed to enhance GNSS resilience in contested RF environments.
The whitepaper explores the evolving threat landscape and the technical considerations involved in protecting GNSS PNT, while examining how multi-band CRPA technology can support more robust positioning capabilities for modern platforms.
