“The joint product can be deployed as a turn-key solution or as an upgrade to IAI and Honeywell's existing customer base."

The joint solution has the provisioning to support future directives of the GPS directorate (M-Code), IAI stated.

IAI said that modern navigation, communications, and intelligence collection and electronic warfare systems rely on the uninterrupted availability of satellite-based navigation and timing for their operation, but many platforms do not use anti-jamming systems.
