…primes, drone companies, and government end users in central Israel. The goal was to prove the Robust Navigation System's capabilities for autonomous navigation for multicopters in different jamming scenarios. The test used two military-grade directional jammers with different bandwidths and a customized version of the Osprey Hexa-copter. It also used a PixHawk 2.1 Cube Black flight controller, a Here2 standard GNSS receiver and antenna module, and the Robust Navigation System (including GPSdome 1.03 + HCINS + HRVS). A regular, unprotected UAV, when faced with military-grade jammers, loses GNSS accuracy within three to five seconds, said the companies. It would tilt…
