Research abstract

???????Our near-peer adversaries like Russia and China are rapidly developing electronic warfare (EW) capabilities that cripple legacy GPS-reliant drones, jeopardizing critical missions and air dominance. For example, Ukraine loses about 10,000 drones a month due to Russian EW. Jamming and spoofing disrupt navigation, communication, and weapon guidance, rendering drones ineffective in contested environments. oneNav is the first company in the world to develop an independent L5-band (L5-First) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. Unlike competitors who offer hybrid solutions that still rely on the vulnerable legacy L1 signal, our receiver uses L5-band signals, which are stronger and more reliable, ensuring uninterrupted communication and navigation in contested environments for enhanced situational awareness.
