NovAtel\u2019s GPS Anti-Jam Technology (GAJT\u00ae) was selected for the United Kingdom\u2019s Type 26 Frigates to meet a requirement as part of a protected navigation system. These vessels are 21st Century warships replacing the Type 23 Frigate as the workhorse of the British Fleet, undertaking the Royal Navy\u2019s three core roles \u2013 warfighting, maritime security, and international engagement \u2013 on the world stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe selection of GAJT for the Type 26 Frigates is the result of cooperation between <\/i>Drumgrange<\/i>, with its proven track record for rapid <\/i>realisation<\/i> of demanding defense design tasks, and\u00a0<\/i>Forsberg Services<\/i><\/b>, an established navigation systems company and <\/i>NovAtel<\/i> dealer whose high-quality manufacturing was instrumental to the project.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n
Peter Soar, Business Development Manager, Military and Defense of NovAtel said, adding,<\/p>\n
\u201cGAJT is in use operationally and has been shipped to 16 allied nations around the globe. We are grateful for the rigorous technology selection process conducted which led to this choice.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
GAJT protects GPS-based navigation and precise timing receivers from intentional jamming and accidental interference, ensuring that the satellite signals necessary to compute position and time are always available. It is a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) product, and comes in versions suitable for land, sea, fixed installations and smaller platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). \u00a0Warships, military vehicles and platforms, networks and timing infrastructure can all benefit from the protection that GAJT provides. There is no need to replace GPS receivers already installed, as GAJT works with civil and military receivers including SAASM and M-Code.<\/p>\n
