Inertial Labs Launches Advanced Anti-Jamming System for Secure Navigation Solutions

Inertial Labs, a subsidiary of VIAVI Solutions Inc., recently unveiled the M-AJ-QUATRO, a state-of-the-art anti-jamming antenna system aimed at ensuring reliable navigation in GPS and GNSS-challenged environments. This innovative technology is particularly critical in areas ranging from military operations to commercial aviation where secure positioning and timing are essential. The launch was marked by significant advancements in Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) and digital processing technologies that make the M-AJ-QUATRO a standout solution in its sector.

Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services are increasingly vital for an array of essential industries, including transportation, telecommunications, and defense. With growing concern over threats like GNSS jamming and spoofing, both government bodies and industry leaders are intensifying measures to guarantee operational integrity. Notably, institutions such as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) are expediting the approval and integration of CRPA technologies to enhance safety and reduce interference in aviation.

The M-AJ-QUATRO is highly adept, operating across the entire L1, L2, and L5 GNSS bands and delivering extraordinary interference mitigation performance. With features like adaptive digital nulling, the system can automatically suppress jamming signals with a remarkable 34dB+ interference suppression rate for the export-free version, and an even greater 45dB+ for the export-controlled model. This remarkable capability ensures remarkable reliability even in contested environments, a key requirement for both military and civilian applications.

Another notable feature of the M-AJ-QUATRO is its jammer direction-finding capability, which effectively identifies and isolates interference sources. This feature not only enhances situational awareness but also boosts operational effectiveness for the users. Designed to support multiple global navigation constellations – including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU, and QZSS – the M-AJ-QUATRO offers unparalleled global coverage and versatility in various operational settings.

Security is paramount in these kinds of applications, which is why the M-AJ-QUATRO incorporates dual FPGA-based encryption and anti-spoofing technologies designed to ensure the integrity of its signal processing. The system's rugged design meets the stringent military standards of MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F, making it well-suited for harsh operational conditions often encountered in defense and aerospace fields.

With the current regulatory climate pushing for the integration of CRPA technology into commercial aviation, Inertial Labs positions the M-AJ-QUATRO as an immediate, market-ready solution for secure and interference-free navigation in mission-critical operations. "As the FAA and NAWCAD encourage the adoption of CRPA in aircraft systems, we believe our M-AJ-QUATRO will play a pivotal role in advancing aviation safety standards and addressing the problem of terrestrial GPS interference," stated Jamie Marraccini, Vice President of Inertial Labs Products at VIAVI.

As a leading designer and manufacturer with over two decades of experience, Inertial Labs specializes in cutting-edge navigation and sensor solutions that cater to a diverse range of applications. Their commitment to innovation and excellence is evident in the M-AJ-QUATRO as they continue to address the evolving needs of both military and civilian sectors amidst increasing GPS-related challenges.
