HawkEye 360 Launches Advanced GNSS Interference Detection Capabilities to Enhance Defense and Intelligence Operations
HawkEye 360 Inc., the global leader in signals intelligence data and analytics, today announced powerful enhancements to its GNSS Interference (GNSS-I) Detection product suite. These upgrades—designed with defense, intelligence, and national security operations in mind—offer unprecedented accuracy, coverage, and insight into global GPS jamming and spoofing threats.
The update includes a new wider frequency algorithm that better distinguishes individual emitters, incorporates GPS spoofing detection, and is terrain adjusted for better geolocation accuracy, delivering greater situational awareness and more precise geolocation of interference sources worldwide.
“In contested environments, timely RF intelligence is the key to mission success,” said Todd Probert, President, U.S. Government Business Unit. “Traditional land, sea, and air systems struggle in Anti-Access/Area Denial environments, while our satellites provide global GNSS-I detection and geolocation coverage. These enhanced capabilities give defense and intelligence teams the ability to identify and neutralize threats before they disrupt operations, enabling faster decisions and sharper visibility into adversary behavior.”
Purpose-Built for Strategic Operations
Many high-stakes operations rely heavily on accurate and uninterrupted GPS signals. Disruptions to these signals, whether through intentional interference or incidental factors, can introduce uncertainty and compromise the effectiveness of critical activities. HawkEye 360’s enhanced GNSS Interference Detection product suite supports strategic decision-making by providing timely, precise insight into potential signal disruptions, enabling stakeholders to better assess risk, respond confidently, and maintain operational continuity in dynamic environments.
With this release, HawkEye 360’s GNSS-I Detection product suite now provides:
- 15x Increase in geolocation density
- Spoofing Detection and differentiation
- Terrain Adjusted for increased accuracy
- Consistent Monitoring across wide areas of interest
Enabling Action in Contested Environments
These enhancements further solidify HawkEye 360’s commitment to equipping national security and defense partners with tools to operate confidently in GPS-denied or disrupted environments.
“We deliver high-confidence RF intelligence that helps defense and intelligence professionals protect assets, outmaneuver threats, and gain the upper hand in the spectrum,” said Alex Fox, President, International Business Unit. “By adding terrain-aware modeling, we give our partners a decisive advantage in detecting and responding to GPS interference—whether they’re operating in rugged mountains or dense urban environments. They can act with confidence, knowing the data is both precise and actionable.”
Precision You Can Act On
HawkEye 360’s new spoofing detection capability identifies potentially malicious transmitters that imitate legitimate GPS Course/Acquisition (PRN) codes—a tactic increasingly used to deceive aircraft and mislead navigation systems. The capability supports threat mitigation and trend analysis by detecting and geolocating these spoofers down to a kilometer-level precision.
