Resilient PNT solutions

A military GPS receiver, the current version of which incorporates a GPS SAASM cryptographic component and is currently being upgraded to include Galileo PRS and GPS Code-M capabilities. Thales is the only company in France authorized to use Galileo PRS technology. Thanks to the combination of encrypted GPS Code-M and Galileo PRS signals, our receiver offers optimum protection against decoy attacks.

An advanced GNSS signal anti-jamming device, designed to operate in increasingly complex electronic warfare environments. It is based on CRPA (Controlled Radiated Pattern Antenna) technology. The performance of this solution is excellent: for example, a jammer that jams a 100n km radius will see its effectiveness reduced to less than 1 km as soon as TopShield is integrated into your platform. Thales is the only supplier in France to offer anti-jamming solutions.

A high-performance, low-drift inertial core capable of addressing mission and/or primary reference requirements. Inertia is non-jamming, non-decoyable, but nonetheless drifts. What really distinguishes two inertial systems is the extent of this drift, and in this respect our TopAxyz solution is the best in the world, with drift levels as low as 0.2 Nm/h at 50%, an excellent performance. This performance is made possible by our new-generation tri-axis laser gyro, developed specifically for the Airbus A350. Thanks to this modernization, we have multiplied the service life of our gyroscopes by 10 and the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) by 20. Today, out of 30 million flight hours on the A350, the MTBF measured by Airbus is 100,000 hours, twice as long as its competitor who is reaching 50,000 hours.

In the field of inertia, Thales is currently developing a new generation of inertial sensors based on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. This compact solution integrates three accelerometers and three gyrometers, all etched in silicon, offering exceptional performance. The accelerometer's performance is remarkable and allows us to meet the needs of all our market segments, from milli gauss (mg) to a few micro-g.
