Research and Application of GPS Jammer in Military Navigation and Guidance System

With the development of modern warfare, military navigation and guidance systems play a vital role on the battlefield. As a device widely used in the military field, GPS jammer is of great significance in jamming and destroying the enemy’s GPS signal. This paper will conduct an in-depth discussion on the research and application of GPS jammers in military navigation and guidance systems.

1 Introduction

GPS (Global Positioning System), as an important technology of modern navigation and positioning, has been widely used in the military field. It can provide high-precision positioning and navigation data for military equipment, and improve the efficiency of combat operations such as military transportation, strikes and reconnaissance. However, the GPS signal itself also has a strong ability to interfere, so there is a device called a GPS jammer, which is used to interfere and destroy the enemy’s GPS signal.

2. The principle and classification of GPS jammers

A GPS jammer is a device specifically designed to generate jamming signals. It is usually divided into two types of active jammers and passive jammers. Active jammers mainly interfere with the work of GPS receivers by emitting electromagnetic signals in specific frequency bands, thereby destroying their positioning and navigation functions; while passive jammers receive and process GPS signals to generate fake GPS signals to deceive the enemy navigation and guidance systems.

3. Research on the application of GPS jammers in military navigation

Military navigation is a crucial part of military transportation and combat operations, and the application research of GPS jammers in military navigation mainly includes two aspects, namely, jamming the opponent’s navigation system and protecting one’s own navigation system. The jamming of the opponent’s navigation system mainly reduces its positioning accuracy and navigation accuracy by transmitting jamming signals, so as to weaken the opponent’s combat effectiveness. The navigation system that protects itself uses jammers to deceive the enemy’s navigation and guidance systems to achieve the secrecy and security of its own actions.

4. Research on the application of GPS jammers in military guidance systems

Military guidance system refers to the equipment used to guide missiles, drones and other weapon systems to strike targets. The research on the application of GPS jammers in military guidance systems mainly involves two aspects, namely, jamming the navigation system of the target and protecting the navigation information security of the own strike system. Interfering with the opponent’s navigation system can make it lose its ability to locate and navigate, making it impossible to effectively track and strike targets. To protect the navigation information security of its own strike system, jammers can be used to deceive the enemy’s navigation and guidance systems to ensure the accuracy and safety of its own strike system.

5. Optimization research of GPS jammer

GPS jammer is an important military equipment, and its performance optimization research plays a vital role in its application in military navigation and guidance systems. Optimization research mainly includes the optimal design of jammer parameters, the optimal generation of jamming signals, and the optimization evaluation of jamming effects. Through the optimization research on the jammer, it can achieve the best effect when jamming the enemy’s GPS signal, and improve its own combat capability.

6. Challenges and prospects of GPS jammers

With the continuous development of military navigation and guidance technology, GPS jammers are facing some challenges and problems. First, the development and improvement of enemy navigation systems may affect the effectiveness of GPS jammers. Secondly, the GPS jammer’s ability to suppress the surrounding environment and irrelevant signals also needs to be further improved. In the future, we can solve these problems by introducing other technologies and means, such as using a combination of multiple interference signals, introducing adaptive methods, etc.

NOSINGNAL concludes:

This paper makes an in-depth discussion on the research and application of GPS jammers in military navigation and guidance systems. Through the introduction of the principle and classification of GPS jammers, and the discussion of its application in military navigation and guidance systems, we can see that GPS jammers are of great significance in improving their own combat effectiveness and destroying enemy navigation systems. In the future, we should continue to study the optimization design and performance improvement of GPS jammers in order to meet the development challenges of military navigation and guidance technology.
