Defence Industry Gains Unprecedented Edge With Advanced Ins Electronic Protection
Advanced Navigation has introduced a cutting-edge line of defence-ready inertial navigation systems (INS) featuring integrated electronic protection (EP) capabilities. The EP range ensures mission continuity and confidence amidst a global surge in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) jamming and spoofing engagements.
At the forefront of this innovation is the Boreas D Series, which includes the Boreas D50, D70, and D90 fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG)-based INS. Engineered for high-threat operational theatres, these systems support multiple vehicle types, linking to Battlefield Management Systems (BMS) and Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS), enabling comprehensive logistical and combat management of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT).
In addition to the Boreas D Series, Advanced Navigation has also introduced the Certus Evo, an ultra-high accuracy MEMS GNSS/INS system. Delivering superior performance in a compact, low-SWaP-C form factor, the Certus Evo is ideal for applications demanding navigation, stabilisation, and pointing under high-dynamics conditions.
The rollout of these systems builds on Advanced Navigation’s strategic move to establish PNT Centres of Excellence (COE) across the UK, US, and Europe. These COEs will directly address the evolving operational needs of NATO forces, turbocharging collaborations with regional defence and technology leaders to build onshore capability from within allied nations.
“We must evolve our defence systems to align with battlefield realities,” said Maximilian Doemling, Chief Product Officer at Advanced Navigation. “Our new Electronic Protection range takes our proven inertial navigation technology and combines it with advanced capabilities to detect and neutralise interference in real-time.”
The EP range brings a suite of advanced capabilities designed to safeguard navigation integrity. One key feature is the “Zig when the threat Zags” capability, which provides real-time detection of GNSS interference, cryptographic validation to identify spoofing, and adaptive filtering to sustain positioning integrity.
In addition to this, the EP range includes a built-in spectrum analyser that provides real-time monitoring of the RF spectrum with configurable notch filters. This allows users to manually or automatically control interference mitigation. The system also incorporates dual-antenna, multi-band GNSS receivers, supporting up to three frequency bands (L1/L2/L5) for improved satellite visibility and robustness in cluttered or high-interference zones.
The EP range is engineered for seamless integration into new-build and legacy defence platforms across multiple domains. This includes combat vehicles, UGVs, artillery, C-UAS, and radar pointing systems on land, as well as ISR payloads and UAVs in the air, and USVs and autonomous underwater systems at sea.
The rollout of this technology is timely, given the growing concerns over GNSS jamming and spoofing incidents. In September 2025, a coalition of U.S. aviation and maritime stakeholders raised urgent concerns over the surge in GNSS jamming and spoofing incidents affecting civilian airspace and international shipping lanes. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission also announced plans to initiate a formal inquiry into alternative and redundant PNT systems to reduce national dependence on GNSS.
In Australia, the establishment of the Joint Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Directorate has taken major steps to strengthen its warfighting edge. Similarly, in the UK, the government is working to implement the framework for Greater PNT Resilience.
Advanced Navigation’s solutions are backed by a three-year warranty, long-term roadmap support, and configuration stability to meet the procurement and lifecycle needs of defence primes. Customers gain:

All Advanced Navigation solutions are ITAR-free.
The EP range is ready to ship to global markets now, offering a cutting-edge solution for defence operators seeking mission-ready PNT systems that can withstand the evolving threats of today’s battlefield.
Advanced Navigation’s Electronic Protection Range represents a significant leap forward in defence readiness. By integrating electronic protection capabilities into their INS systems, these solutions provide unparalleled resilience against GNSS jamming and spoofing attacks.
As the defence industry continues to evolve, it is clear that operational resilience will become an increasingly critical factor in determining success on the battlefield. Advanced Navigation’s EP range is poised to play a major role in this trend, delivering mission-ready PNT systems that can withstand even the most challenging operational environments.
With its cutting-edge technology and robust feature set, the EP range offers defence operators a vital edge in the fight against GNSS jamming and spoofing threats. By investing in these solutions, defence forces can ensure that their personnel have access to reliable positioning, navigation, and timing capabilities – no matter where they are deployed or what challenges they face.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is clear that operational resilience will become an ever-more pressing concern for defence operators around the globe. Advanced Navigation’s Electronic Protection Range is poised to lead the way in this trend, delivering innovative solutions that will help defend against emerging threats and ensure the success of defence forces on the battlefield.
