Army Awards Mayflower SBIR Phase II Contract to Develop Standalone Miniaturized GPS Anti-Jam System

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command , Redstone Arsenal, AL awarded a SBIR Phase II program to Mayflower Communications Company for developing a miniaturized GPS Anti-Jam system for Army missile launcher. The Mayflower Low Elevation Antenna Nuller (M-LEAN) product is designed to protect the GPS receiver on Army missile launcher platform from adversarial low elevation jamming threat. The M-LEAN unit consists of an antenna array and a miniaturized Digital Antenna Electronics (DAE) module. The DAE module will be implemented with the Mayflower Anti-Jam (AJ) ASIC chip set (“Beacon” RF ASIC and “Vanguard” Digital AJ ASIC) in an integrated assembly compatible with the Army program objectives of small size and low cost. The M-LEAN unit is a stand-alone GPS AJ system (i.e. no requirement to modify the GPS receiver on the ground-based missile launcher) capable of nulling multiple low-elevation GPS jammers. This Mayflower Phase II effort will leverage the government investment in developing the Mayflower AJ chip set under another program. In the Phase II program Mayflower will carry out extensive laboratory and field testing in order to deliver an M-LEAN prototype unit that meets the Army objectives.

The Mayflower M-LEAN product has a wide range of military as well as commercial applications requiring GPS Anti-Jam protection, because of its low-cost, compact size, and high performance by using the state-of-the-art Mayflower Anti-Jam chip set and an innovative antenna design.
