Russian engineers have created a jam-resistant navigation device VEL-16X2 capable of suppressing about 15 interferences simultaneously. It was presented at the forum "Unmanned Systems: Technologies of the Future" in Skolkovo.

The information materials indicate that VEL-16X2 is a 16-channel, dual-band device with an anti-spoofing function (a set of measures aimed at preventing genuine sources of information and data from being disguised as other, fake ones).

VEL-16X2 functions:

  • receiving signals from global navigation satellite system satellites
  • filtering intentional and unintentional interference
  • preventing the transition to false coordinates
  • ensuring the issuance of reliable navigation information

The product has interference immunity up to 100 dB with 1 interference, up to 95 dB with - 3 and 90 dB with - 15 interferences, respectively. VEL-16X2 is suitable for navigation of drones, airplanes, ground transport, marine vessels, unmanned surface vehicles (USV).

The developers also showed a smaller VEL-11X3 product. In contrast to the more powerful analogue, the interference immunity of this device is about 92 dB with 9 interferences.
