Keeping F-35s Fighting When GPS Is Denied
When GPS is deliberately cut, jets can’t afford to go blind. Collins Aerospace’s delivery of the 1,000th anti‑jam GPS receiver is a practical win for a braided resilience strategy—CRPAs, beamforming, advanced signal processing and high‑grade INS—that helps keep F‑35s fighting when satellite signals are denied.
How the F-35 Keeps Fighting When GPS Is Denied
GPS jamming won’t ground the F‑35 — Collins Aerospace’s delivery of the 1,000th anti‑jam receiver proves the jet’s layered navigation system can keep it finding its way, fixing targets and staying in the fight even when satellite signals are denied.
HardBit ransomware Stunning Arrest, Devastating Supply-Risk
The NCA’s arrest in the HardBit ransomware probe shows how a single supplier breach can cascade into airport outages and stranded travellers — underscoring the urgent need for stronger supply‑chain security, faster threat‑sharing, and resilient systems.
supply-chain cyber-attack: Devastating Airport Chaos
Day three of travel chaos as a supply‑chain cyberattack on a key avionics supplier snarls check‑in, baggage and departures across major European airports — a sharp reminder that our high‑tech travel system can grind to a halt when a single supplier is hit.
Joint Simulation Environment Exclusive: SPARTA Best Boost
Collins Aerospace’s SPARTA will bring a deployable, high-fidelity E-2D trainer into the Joint Simulation Environment in summer 2025, letting crews rehearse carrier-based command-and-control missions ashore or afloat with realistic sensor, datalink and EW effects. That scalable, repeatable capability boosts readiness and trims flight hours—so long as model fidelity, secure networks and tough injects keep training honest.
