Small Global Positioning System (GPS) Anti-Jam Antenna for H-1Y/Z (Navy)
Abstract
This effort will demonstrate all criteria needed for proceeding with a major fielding program for a small GPS anti-jam smart antenna solution for the H-1Y/Z aircraft. This small GPS anti-jam smart antenna system will be a common material solution for the UH-1Y and AH-1Z as both platforms currently share the same unprotected antenna-to-GPS receiver navigation system architecture. This new antenna system when coupled to an Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation system will eliminate mission capability gaps associated with a variety of H-1Y/Z missions adversely affected in a GPS signal degraded anti-access/area denial environment. The UH-1Y and AH-1Z helicopters are among the last Marine manned platforms without a GPS anti-jam antenna system as small anti-jam solutions were not available until now due to size, weight and power limitations.
