infiniDome, a leading provider of GPS protection technology, introduced a new anti-jamming product at the AUSA expo earlier this month. The GPSdome 2 is their latest offering in their range of anti-jamming technologies. It is a cost-effective, lightweight solution tailored for defending small to medium tactical UAVs as well as manned and unmanned ground vehicles. It provides simultaneous dual-frequency protection from 3 directions of attack.
With the notorious vulnerability of GNSS due to its weak signal from orbiting satellites, together with the wide availability of cheap jamming devices and the rise of hostile jamming attacks worldwide from Ukraine-Russia, through South and North Korea to the middle east, the need for effective anti-jamming solutions has never been clearer. Disruptions in critical PNT (Positioning Navigation Timing) data mean loitering munitions that never find their targets, UAVs that fall to the ground, and ground vehicles that cannot be managed (with dangerously impaired IFF - Identification, Friend or Foe). But with many GPS protection devices being oversized and expensive, finding the right solution that makes both budgetary and operational sense is nearly impossible.
InfiniDome’s new GPSdome 2 comes to disrupt exactly that – protection of mission-critical assets in GPS-challenged environments in a more efficient and cost-effective manner than ever before. With a small form factor (500g, 87 x 91 x 61.55mm) and minimal power consumption, it is very well-suited for loitering munitions as well as drones and small-med UAVs, increasing resiliency while prolonging mission time and providing a superior ROI. Fully retrofit and completely standalone, the system is compatible with almost any off-the-shelf GNSS receiver on the market as well as standard active GNSS antennas, meaning that it can be integrated into existing GPS systems or into new product lines, manned or unmanned, including LAVs and ATVs.
With sophisticated algorithms and a proprietary RFIC (chip), infiniDome’s GPSdome 2 analyzes the RF interferences in the environment and combines multiple antenna patterns to create and dynamically steer three nulls in the direction of any hostile signal.
One of the unique features of the GPSdome 2 is how it provides simultaneous dual frequency protection (GPS L1 + L2 or GPS L1 + GLONASS G1), creating up to 3 nulls, protecting from 3 jamming directions within each band in real time (making it ideal for PNT applications. Furthermore, the GPSdome 2 also provides the platform and its command and control, actionable, real-time intelligence and analysis on GPS attacks it detects in the field.
Omer Sharar, infiniDome’s CEO: “We are incredibly proud to present our latest solution for protecting small-medium UAVs and ground vehicles from GPS jamming. With disruptive C-SWaP benefits as well as dual frequency and multi-directional nulling capabilities, we’re sure our latest offering will hit the mark.”
The GPSdome 2 is a dual-use, non-ITAR device and comes with optional mil-spec compliance. Only recently launched, it has already been chosen by a leading Israeli defense contractor for integration with their platforms.
