Chemring Technology Solutions Develops the World's First Miniaturised GPS Anti-jamming Technology
ROMSEY, England, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

- 20 July
Chemring Technology Solutions [http://www.chemringts.com ] has developed GINCAN - the
world's first miniaturised GPS anti-jamming technology.
GINCAN [http://www.gincan.com ] will combat illegal GPS jammers and is based on the
adaptive antenna concept used by military systems. Chemring Technology Solutions has
developed the smallest size, weight and lowest power solution available on the market
today, with a chip footprint of only six millimetres-squared.
GINCAN's reduced size and weight will significantly cut power usage and cost, making
it ideal for combatting the widespread problem of low powered GPS-jamming. GINCAN can be
integrated into a range of applications, including in-vehicle satellite navigation
systems, cellular technology and be used for the protection of the critical
infrastructures which rely on GPS to provide positioning and timing.
GPS jammers have already been developed to interfere with the European Union's Galileo
system, which will provide European satellite navigation independently from the Russian,
USA and Chinese systems by 2019. Chemring Technology Solutions has anticipated this
problem and its GPS anti-jamming technology will also support systems using Galileo.
Once the preserve of the military, there is now an increasing demand for GPS
protection in the civilian market as illegal GPS jamming equipment becomes widely
available on the Internet. The GBP1.5 million government-funded Sentinel project, designed
to measure GPS jamming on UK roads, recorded more than 60 individual jamming incidents
across six months at a single location. Such attacks could seriously impact industries,
including maritime, aerospace, the emergency services and even stock market trading.
Martin Ward, Product Manager, Chemring Technology Solutions, said: "Many years of
developing GPS protection technology for the military has enabled our research and
development team to miniaturise anti-jamming technology. GINCAN can now be easily
integrated in to a range of applications to provide effective protection against jamming
devices."
"As we become increasingly reliant on GPS technology, and low-cost jammers are
proliferating, so a potential time bomb is being created. Chemring Technology Solutions is
now able to offer the answer to this problem with jammer protection at a reduced size,
weight, power and cost footprint."
GINCAN is an export controlled product and subject to UK export restrictions.
