Next-Generation Landshield Plus anti-jam antennas will enhance GPS resilience on CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicles
Landshield Plus is comprised of an antenna and anti-jam processor in a single box. The mounted solution provides users with information about interfering signals and their location and offers real-time situational awareness to aid in GPS-challenged environments. Its compact, lightweight design and low power usage make it highly versatile for use on land, sea, and air platforms.
"There is a growing demand for resilient GPS across today's complex battlefield," said James Gray, managing director and chief executive of Raytheon
Landshield Plus works on both L1 and L2 GPS frequency bands, the two main frequencies used by GPS satellites, and uses a seven-element antenna with integrated anti-jam technology. This allows it to block signals from up to six jammers at once, across both frequency bands, to maintain reliable navigation in GPS contested environments.
