EmailITT Exelis achieves delivery milestone for anti-jam GPS antenna
ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) recently delivered the 500th state-of-the-art antenna that provides global positioning system (GPS) anti-jam protection for U.S. and allied militaries.
The N79 Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna, or CRPA, is used on fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, ships and unmanned platforms operating in environments with high temperatures and severe vibration. The antenna prevents deliberate jamming and unintentional interference of timing signals when integrated with anti-jam GPS systems including the next-generation Advanced Digital Antenna Production (ADAP) and its predecessor, the GPS Antenna System-1 (GAS-1).
