A new prototype sensor, developed by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has recently completed a key round of testing. Developed by experts in the NCIA’s Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Centre, the GANDALF-4 system is designed to detect, classify, and locate intentional attempts to disrupt or deceive Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals.
NCIA reported on April 24 that the system has successfully undergone a series of tests in a specialised testing facility at the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).
“GNSS jamming and spoofing are becoming more common and sophisticated, posing a real threat to NATO’s operational readiness and resilience,” NCIA said.
This latest testing round focused on the sensor’s antenna performance. NCIA said that collaboration between its Electromagnetic Warfare and Surveillance team and NSPA’s Ground Based Defence group of experts enabled valuable knowledge transfer and efficiency gains which contributed to achieve the campaign objectives.
