Israel Aerospace Industries unveils  Jam-Resistant GNSS system

The Compact ADA system ensures resilient PNT by mitigating GNSS jamming, enabling uninterrupted tactical operations.

Compact ADA ensures tactical platform operation by countering GNSS jamming and maintaining resilient Position, Navigation, and Timing amidst variable GNSS availability.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has introduced Compact ADA, a new jam-resistant Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) designed for airborne tactical platforms, featuring minimized Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) characteristics. The system will protect avionic systems against GNSS jamming. The Compact ADA system ensures resilient Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) by mitigating GNSS jamming, thereby enabling uninterrupted operation of tactical platforms amidst variable GNSS availability. This contrasts with conventional systems reliant on consistent GPS/GNSS signals. However, budget-friendly, lower-tier equipment poses a risk of significant degradation or complete denial of GNSS PNT functionality.


With over two decades of established expertise, IAI has delivered comprehensive GNSS Anti-Jam solutions tailored to rigorous specifications. Moreover, IAI possesses extensive experience in seamlessly integrating resilient navigation solutions into various platforms, including manned and unmanned aircraft, surface vehicles, maritime vessels, and guided munitions.

Compact ADA, a variation of the ADA system tailored for air tactical platforms, inherits the advanced immunity features of ADA. Developed by IAI, the ADA product line is designed to interface with various satellite navigation systems (GNSS), boasting state-of-the-art technology equipped with multiple mitigation strategies and specialized digital signal processing algorithms. Its adaptability allows seamless integration across diverse platforms.

Jacob Galifat, General Manager of the IAI’s MALAM Division said “With the threats that GNSS faces today, these systems are a must for any platform using GPS, or any other Global Satellite Navigation Systems. Our operationally proven systems ensure the availability of GPS and GNSS- based systems, even in the most contested, EW-saturated battle space. Considering the operational challenges, this system has considerable export potential for many air forces and armies who experience GNSS jamming in combat zones”
