Iridium/GPS Anti-Jam Antenna System (iGAAS)

The Navy objective in this SBIR program is to develop a size, weight and power-optimized integrated GPS and Iridium anti-jam solution for Navy UAS platforms. In the Phase I feasibility study, Mayflower developed and analyzed the system architecture of a highly integrated Iridium/GPS Anti-Jam Antenna System (iGAASTM) solution, designed to mitigate jamming in the GPS and Iridium bands, that can be packaged within the size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements of this SBIR solicitation. The proposed GPS/Iridium AJ solution will be developed, implemented, and tested in the Phase II program and will offer a highly integrated GPS/Iridium anti-jam protection system solution that is self-contained in a CRPA solution and is a direct replacement for a standard FRPA antenna on the platform. The Phase II program will develop a form factor prototype system that will be tested at Government test facilities. The proposed iGAAS system will be qualified for the selected Navy platform and commercialized in a follow-on Phase III program.
