Mayflower Communications Selected for GPS Anti-Jam Upgrade for Rotary Wing Platforms

Upon conclusion of the initial development phase of the Navy Small Antenna System (SAS) program, the U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare System Center Pacific, (SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific) in San Diego announced on December 1, 2008 that it has selected Mayflower Communications Company, Inc., of Burlington, MA to continue the development of a high-performance GPS Anti-Jam solution for Rotary Wing Platforms through Phase 2, the critical design phase. Mayflower is proud to be one of the two contractors selected for Phase 2 of this program by the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy made this decision based on the performance of the SAS contractors in Phase 1 and available funding.

Mayflower’s SAS Anti-Jam solution builds upon GPS anti-jam technology developed over decades of dedicated research and development and experience in miniaturization of electronics. The Mayflower SAS solution will advance the state-of-the-art in GPS anti-jam protection technology for space constrained rotary wing platforms. The SAS Development Program is planned to run in four phases culminating in production-ready flight qualified hardware.
