Safran Electronics & Defense had unveiled Skydel NAVWAR, a software solution designed to protect against hostile UAVs by disrupting their navigation systems.
As the core of Safran’s counter-UAV (C-UAV) systems, Skydel NAVWAR disrupts UAV navigation by simulating authentic GNSS signals, providing nations and organizations with advanced protection for their most critical assets.
Skydel NAVWAR can be deployed on tactical platforms and integrated with sensors and command-and-control systems, allowing operators to conduct remote spoofing operations without being physically present at the target location.
“Protecting national sovereignty requires more than just technology — it demands trusted systems that empower countries to take control of their own security,” said Maxime Gorlier, director of positioning, navigation and timing at Safran Electronics & Defense. “With Skydel NAVWAR, we are giving our partners the capability to safeguard their airspace, defend critical infrastructure and ensure resilience in the face of evolving threats.”
The system features a secure application programming interface, hardened operating system and field-tested durability designed for demanding operational conditions. It supports all major global navigation satellite systems, including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, NavIC, QZSS and space-based augmentation systems, as well as emerging low-Earth orbit (LEO) signals.
The software can simulate thousands of satellites in real time using commercial off-the-shelf hardware and operates at a 1,000 Hz iteration rate.
Safran designed the system to enable defense integrators to build sovereign anti-drone capabilities, enhancing national autonomy in countering UAV threats.
