Case Study: Schiebel Aircraft regains GPS resilience for critical missions with Hexagon GAJT anti-jam technology

How Hexagon restored Schiebel Aircraft to its mission with our GPS anti-jamming technology and quick response

Schiebel Aircraft GmbH, the manufacturer of the CAMCOPTER® S-100 Unmanned Air System, faced a critical operational challenge when its UAS was rendered ineffective by intentional GPS jamming over a conflict zone. This hostile jamming prevented the aircraft from performing its vital intelligence and reconnaissance missions. The company turned to vendor Hexagon | NovAtel for a solution to restore its operational capabilities.

Hexagon provided its GPS Anti-Jam Technology (GAJT), an off-the-shelf system that was rapidly delivered and integrated by Schiebel. The GAJT product electronically nullifies jamming signals, allowing the GPS receiver to continue functioning. This solution enabled Schiebel to quickly re-deploy its CAMCOPTER S-100 within a minimal timeframe, successfully returning the aircraft to its critical missions in a GPS-denied environment. Hexagon's swift response and effective technology were crucial to this successful outcome.
