Positioning systems find new military targets

UK-based BAE Systems has successfully built a new navigation system that can help military equipment detect any electronic signals emitted in the air to detect target locations. , even if the GPS navigation system is jammed.

This navigational system, called Navigation via Signals of Opportunity (NAVSOP), allows aircraft, warships, armaments and GPS-based military missiles to be free from trouble if the enemy uses the means of loss. GPS signal or use a fake GPS signal to take control of unmanned aircraft or military robots.

The new positioning system detects any target attack even when the GPS is jammed

At the same time, NAVSOP can collect hundreds of radio waves, Wi-Fi services, or various cellular signaling signals to locate a person or vehicle and can identify both The signal has not been determined previously.

In addition, the collection of signals from the air also allows NAVSOP to operate indoors or underground, where GPS was previously unable to operate because of no satellite signals. NAVSOP also works in remote areas such as deep forests or in the Arctic.

Not only for self-steering robotic cars, the technology can be applied to a wide variety of weapons and heavy military vehicles such as trucks, warships and military aircraft against interference or interference. Intrusion of the enemy, help protect them from attack.

NAVSOP can also help firefighters perform rescue missions inside smoke-filled buildings, help underground miners and cave-dwellers without fear of getting lost. At this point, NAVSOP is almost equivalent to GPS.
