Thales has unveiled the TopStar Smart Receiver, a compact three-in-one device delivering positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) with robust anti-jamming protection for land forces. This ultra-small unit enables operations up to 30 times closer to jamming sources than conventional GPS receivers.
The receiver integrates a dual-constellation GNSS system supporting military Galileo PRS and civilian GPS signals. Its Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) nullifies interference, while anti-spoofing features ensure signal integrity and enhanced precision.
A high-performance clock maintains tactical radio synchronization for up to 48 hours after GNSS signal loss, far exceeding the 30 minutes of standard equipment. This capability sustains mission continuity in electronic warfare environments.
Building on Thales’ TopStar M military GPS-GNSS receivers, the Smart Receiver offers SAASM support, direct Y-code acquisition, and exceptional reliability for critical operations. Its design prioritizes resilience in contested spaces, addressing growing threats to GNSS-dependent forces.
For land platforms, the receiver’s low size, weight, and power profile facilitates easy integration, bolstering operational effectiveness amid rising jamming risks.
