Germany-based Aerodata has been granted an STC by EASA for its advanced GPS anti-jamming and anti-spoofing solution. This certification applies to installations integrated with Garmin 5000 avionics in a Cessna Citation Latitude jet.

With the growing threat of GPS jamming and spoofing in both civil and military aviation, Aerodata has developed a robust solution to ensure continuous GPS availability. As attacks on GPS systems continue to increase, this anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology is crucial in maintaining safe and reliable aviation operations, by ensuring GPS based systems remain unaffected under GPS-denied conditions.

Moreover, Aerodata’s solution will enhance its special mission capabilities, especially in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions and flight inspection, where continuous, high accurate navigation is mission-critical. The solution also positions Aerodata to reduce the vulnerability of its unmanned solutions to GPS interference, ensuring operational integrity across a wide range of manned and unmanned platforms.

The newly certified system has undergone comprehensive testing and validation, and Aerodata is already working on extending its capabilities to other aircraft platforms, targeting both civil and military applications.

“As incidents of GPS interference rise, it is essential that the aviation industry responds with effective solutions to ensure continuous GPS availability. This STC represents a significant advancement in ensuring the future safety in civil and military aviation,” says CEO and president Neset Tükenmez.
