Endura Super-TCXO Delivers Superior Holdover and Ruggedized Performance for Aerospace, Defense and Industrial Applications
SiTime Corporation has launched the Endura temperature-compensated oscillator (Super-TCXO), ENDR-TTT, for position, navigation and timing (PNT) applications. Engineered for superior holdover — uninterrupted operation when GNSS is not available — and resistance to jamming and spoofing, ENDR-TTT is an ultra-stable, low-power product for GNSS receivers in aerospace, defense and industrial markets.
“SiTime’s Endura Super-TCXO, ENDR-TTT, allows us to create a multi-layer anti-spoofing methodology,” said Paul McBurney, GPS World Editorial Advisory Board member, CTO and co-founder at OneNav. “The first layer minimizes the search window, preventing spoofing because signals outside the window are never tracked. The second layer addresses exceptionally large search windows, such as in first acquisition, where spoofers can be tracked. In this case, the spoofer signals can be identified and removed due to SiTime’s ultra-stable reference clock.”
When GNSS signals are dropped because of unavailability or degradation — including signal jamming or extreme environmental conditions — holdover maintains timing stability locally to enable uninterrupted network operation. The ENDR-TTT Endura Super-TCXO provides up to 20x longer holdover and 20x better PNT accuracy, dramatically improving spoofing resistance.
“SiTime’s ENDR-TTT Endura Super-TCXO accelerates GNSS recovery by narrowing the resynchronization window, reducing spoofing and setting a new standard for ruggedized precision timing,” said Piyush Sevalia, executive vice president of marketing at SiTime. “Our latest product delivers a powerful combination of superior performance, low power and small size, that leads the industry for PNT applications.”
Additional features for SiTime ENDR-TTT Endura Super-TCXO include:
±50 ppb stability over temperature (FvT); up to 10x better frequency stability over temperature versus quartz alternatives.
-55ºC to +125ºC operating temperature range.
30,000 g operational shock; up to 20x better resistance to shock.
0.004 ppb/g typical g-sensitivity; up to 50x better than quartz alternatives.
±0.5 ppm 20-year aging—eliminates field recalibration.
Optional I2C/SPI digital pulling capability for system frequency fine-tuning.
SiTime’s ENDR-TTT is sampling now. Mass production is expected in the first quarter of 2026.
Indrajaal Drone Defence has launched the Anti-Drone Patrol Vehicle (ADPV) — a fully mobile AI-enabled counter-drone system designed to redefine how India responds to drone-led threats.
The Ranger has both soft- and hard-kill options. A GNSS spoofer can hijack drones remotely, while its Zombee interceptor drone provides a kinetic strike capability. Together, the sensors and weapons deliver a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) detection range and a combat radius exceeding 4 kilometers (2.5 miles).
The urgency to build the ADPV (Indrajaal Ranger) was reinforced when two recent national security incidents demonstrated how drones have become a critical link in breaching India’s border security.
First was a drone-trafficking incident, where weapons were smuggled deep into Indian territory from Pakistan. Second, the Border Security Force neutralized 255 Pakistani drones in 2025, underscoring how drones have become the primary transport channel for drug trafficking.
Breaking away from traditional vehicle-mounted anti-drone solutions that work only when parked, Indrajaal engineered the ADPV ( Indrajaal Ranger) as a purpose-built combat vehicle that delivers:
On-the-move drone detection
Real-time patroling and surveillance
Autonomous threat assessment through AI
Instant interception and neutralization
Seamless coverage across border roads, canals, agricultural belts, critical infrastructure and dense urban pockets.
By intercepting hostile drones, the Indrajaal Ranger prevents narcotics from entering and endangering Indian lives, blocks the inflow of illicit weapons into urban centers, and protects farmers living along sensitive border zones, the company said. Its automated interception framework is designed to reduce the operational load on police units, enabling smarter, data-driven deployment of manpower.

The CR8894SXF+ is an advanced controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) for anti-jamming. It is engineered to provide efficient interference protection and real-time situational awareness across critical infrastructure, marine and defense environments where GNSS continuity is mission critical. It is specifically designed to provide a low-power and lightweight solution in a compact size. It features advanced in-band null forming to protect GPS L1/L2 and Galileo E1/E5b signals, helping ensure resilient positioning, navigation and timing in environments with contested, congested or degraded radio frequency conditions. The antenna incorporates Calian’s eXtended Filtering interference mitigation technology to maintain performance and reliability when RF threats are present. The CRPA supports in-band null-forming of 20 dB to 40 dB and out-of-band rejection up to 80 dB across 700 MHz to 2,500 MHz. It includes two independent low-noise amplifier channels, allowing continued operation if one signal band is compromised. The antenna forms nulls in both upper (L1/E1) and lower (L2/E5b) GNSS bands to actively suppress jamming sources. A serial output interface provides real-time feedback, enabling users to monitor RF conditions and system status.
The BlackNaute autonomous positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) system integrates Safran’s HRG dual-core inertial navigation technology, the Skylight multi-mode GNSS receiver board, and an atomic clock to offer navigation resilience in challenging electronic warfare environments. BlackNaute’s built-in atomic clock is designed to maintain precise timing, which is essential for secure communications and collaborative combat operations. The system features advanced anti-jamming and anti-spoofing algorithms, which have been validated in more than 16,000 operational cases. These capabilities allow BlackNaute to detect compromised signals and automatically switch to autonomous and trusted navigation and timing sources to ensure continuity of operations. Its modular design allows it to be adapted across a variety of platforms. Airbus Helicopters has selected the NH90 to be equipped with this new Embedded GNSS and Time INS (EGTI).

With a take-off weight of up to 110 kg and a maximum fuel and payload capacity of 26 kg, the GöKHUN can remain in the air for up to 16 hours with a minimum payload. Even with a demanding sensor load of 12 kg, it can achieve a flight duration of around nine hours, making it suitable for long-endurance reconnaissance and surveillance missions. The GöKHUN’s cruising speed is between 96 and 158 km/h. The maximum range with direct line-of-sight is over 150 km, with the system reaching a service ceiling of approximately 5,500 m.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has warned all pilots to “exercise caution” when flying in the airspace over Venezuela “due to the worsening security situation and heightened military activity,” reports ABC News. Possible risks include GNSS jamming and spoofing.
The FAA message said the unspecified threats “could pose a potential risk to aircraft at all altitudes” as well planes taking off and landing in the country and even aircraft on the ground.
The warning comes as the Trump administration has ramped up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Trump administration also has carried out a series of strikes on small boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean that it accuses of ferrying drugs to the U.S., killing more than 80 people since the campaign began in early September.
The Ford aircraft carrier and several destroyers were just the latest addition to the largest U.S. force assembled in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela in generations. The Trump administration does not see Maduro, who faces charges of narcoterrorism in the U.S., as the legitimate leader of the South American country.
Tern has been named a winner of the U.S. Army’s xTechOverwatch for Unmanned Systems competition. TERN was selected from morethan 600 companies after hands-on Soldier testing at the Bush Combat Development Complex in Bryan, Texas, Oct. 27-29.
Tern developed an AI-powered Independently Derived Positioning System (IDPS) for position and navigation.
xTechOverwatch is the Army’s premiere event for accelerating autonomous systems, giving soldiers the opportunity to use emerging technologies in real-world training environments and provide critical feedback that drives iterative improvement.
The system has been tested across multiple tactical platforms in both on- and off-road environments, including active conflict zones.
Tern will now integrate IDPS directly with Army Transformation in Contact formations, where active-duty units will continue to validate the system in operational scenarios in 2026.
How IDPS works
IDPS has been proven to deliver uninterrupted, high-accuracy navigation in environments where GPS fails — tunnels, dense urban canyons, remote terrain, and GPS-denied zones. Tested by the U.S. Department of Transportation, it has sustained ±4-meter accuracy over extended distances without any satellite input, completing more than180 continuous miles GPS-free and performing flawlessly under live GPS spoofing in a conflict zone.
Tern’s IDPS gives the Army the ability to navigate their vehicles without the use of any satellites, signals or infrastructure, using only map data and the sensors already on board. Designed by former special operators who spent years navigating contested terrain without satellite support, and developed with AI experts behind some of the fastest recognition systems in the world, IDPS maintains precise, real-time location even when GNSS is jammed or spoofed. The system has been tested across multiple tactical platforms in both on- and off-road environments, including active conflict zones.
Base maps. IDPS has a clear understanding of the roads ahead using preloaded map data — either publicly available or proprietary. This built-in knowledge means it can follow a logical path, even in places where satellites can’t reach, keeping navigation steady from the first turn to the final destination.
IDPS can stand alone or be configured to power a location manager and integrate with widely used navigation applications such as Google Maps, Waze, OSM, ESRI, ArcGIS and Apple Maps.
Sensor data. TERN’s IDPS leverages data from sensors already built into modern vehicles, such as wheel speed, steering angle, and 3D motion data , making these existing sensors smarter. Because this information comes directly from the vehicle, it works anywhere the vehicle can operate, making it a reliable foundation for location tracking in any environment, eliminating the need for additional expensive hardware, such as LEO satellites or terrestrial beacons. With a light computing and processing load, IDPS is can be a hardware or software based solution.
Artificial intelligence. IDPS uses a proprietary AI engine to fuse map data and sensor inputs into a real-time position. TERN’s advanced adaptive weighting algorithms measure and interpret the data from vehicle sensors and recalibrates those inputs in real-time, applied against the base maps to increase accuracy. Constantly self-healing, IDPS predicts, confirms, and refines the vehicle’s location, learning from each movement to maintain pinpoint accuracy without satellites.
Honeywell has received U.S. government authorization for the remaining variants of its M-code GPS Inertial Navigation System (EGI), which will help enable more secure and precise navigation for military aircraft worldwide.
Honeywell was awarded the MSO-c145b authorization by the Precise Position Equipment Certification Office (PECO) for its smaller form factor embedded GPS EGI, known as the FALCN. Honeywell received the same authorization for its large form factor system last year.
With this new qualification, all of Honeywell’s EGI offerings are certified and approved by the U.S. government, and it can now offer solutions on platforms such as the collaborative combat aircraft and fixed-wing advanced fighters.
Reliable on-board navigation systems, such as the GPS EGI, are critical to ensuring mission success and operational safety for military and civilian operators. These systems are not just tools for determining location, but essential for strategic planning, coordination and effective execution of tasks, especially in complex and high-risk environments. Accurate navigation enables personnel to operate with precision, even in GPS-denied or contested areas, contributing directly to the safety and effectiveness of military operations.
“Our innovative EGI offerings will enable aircraft platforms to meet the latest M-code mandates and to navigate both in contested environments and off of GPS constellations with military waveforms, all while protecting warfighters with the most advanced technology in the market,” said Matt Picchetti, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Aerospace.
The advent of GPS M-code receivers is the greatest advance in military positioning, navigation and timing since GPS was originally fielded in the early 1980s. With Honeywell’s FALCN-M now upgraded with M-code capability, aviators will be protected from GPS jamming and spoofing threats, further enabling them to confidently conduct military operations in highly contested environments.
Honeywell is a leader in EGI technologies for military applications and, since the mid-1990s, has provided more than 60,000 EGI units for fighter, transport, vertical takeoff and landing, and rotary-wing aircraft — spanning more than 70 aircraft types to more than 30 allied countries. Honeywell’s EGI family includes the H-764, in use on most military aircraft, and the FALCN, providing all the features and performance of the H-764 in a smaller package. The H-764 legacy offering uses a larger chassis to maintain commonality with legacy aircraft.
infiniDome has introduced Aura, a new GNSS protection system built for platforms that cannot afford to lose their way. According to the company, this development comes at a time when GNSS interference incidents have surged by more than 400% across Europe and the Middle East over the past two years, making uninterrupted navigation a strategic necessity.
Developed from years of field-proven operational experience, Aura is designed to redefine navigation resilience with smarter algorithms, faster interference response and a compact, rugged design capable of operating in contested environments.
The system is available in two configurations: Aura, the enclosed version for rapid deployment, and AuraCore, the OEM module for integration. The system brings mission-grade protection to platforms ranging from small UAVs to large autonomous vehicles.
Among several new capabilities, Aura features enhanced null-depth performance, enabling the system to withstand higher jamming power, and a new saving power mode that dynamically reduces energy consumption when no interference is present.
“Aura isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a new philosophy,” said Omer Sharar, CEO of infiniDome. “It takes everything we’ve learned from real-world interference events and transforms it into a smarter, faster and more adaptive layer of defense. With Aura, we’re not just protecting GPS; we’re protecting autonomy itself.”
Engineered for modern battlefields and complex environments, Aura introduces a new level of performance and resilience.
Its adaptive algorithms ensure reliable navigation under evolving jamming conditions, while the optimized C-SWaP design keeps the system lightweight, low-power and mission-ready.
Capable of mitigating interference from up to three directions per frequency simultaneously, Aura delivers protection that is powerful and efficient, tested and validated in live high-power jamming environments across multiple regions.
These results position Aura as one of the most advanced and field-proven GNSS protection systems available.
With Aura, infiniDome said it continues to advance its vision of navigation resiliency, ensuring that operators stay connected, coordinated and in control, even under severe electronic attack.
Aura is available for early access evaluation and OEM integration, with full release scheduled for early 2026.
The program, managed under DIU’s Emerging Technologies portfolio, accelerates adoption of commercial quantum sensing technologies to ensure positioning, navigation and timing resilience in environments where Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals are unreliable or denied. SandboxAQ will deploy its dual-use AQNav software to enable robust navigation capabilities without reliance on external signals, demonstrating the technology’s utility in real-world scenarios and generating a comprehensive dataset to benchmark results against relevant Defense Department use cases.
“AQNav represents a vital, non-GPS-reliant path for PNT and has proven its readiness for expanded military demonstrations and evaluation across mission-critical platforms,” said Luca Ferrara, general manager of AQNav at SandboxAQ. “We’re demonstrating AQNav’s performance capabilities across DIU-relevant use cases to empower the DOD to solve complex PNT challenges with best-in-class technologies at its disposal.”
About the Transition of Quantum Sensing Program
The program is a strategic effort to accelerate adoption of advanced quantum sensors from the laboratory into real-world military applications. Its primary goal is to address critical joint force needs, particularly for resilient positioning, navigation and timing in GPS-denied environments and for next-generation anomaly detection.
More on Magnetic Navigation
DIU is addressing the DOD’s urgent need for jam-resistant navigation for aerial platforms operating in challenging environments. The effort focuses on prototyping magnetic navigation systems, which use advanced quantum magnetic sensors to navigate using Earth’s natural geomagnetic variations. The technique provides a resilient source of position data even in GPS-denied scenarios, such as over-ocean operations, reduced visibility and electronic jamming.
Nortek’s DVL 333 Surface, designed specifically for uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), enables USVs to maintain position or navigate when GNSS is lost.
Uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), often called sea drones, help monitor, map and secure the world’s oceans, performing tasks and surveys for less expense and risk than traditional crewed vessels. USVs are used in environmental monitoring, offshore inspection, subsea infrastructure protection, and defense missions such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).
USVs require reliable navigation and positioning information, particularly when performing autonomous operations. This information typically comes from GNSS.
But during GNSS outages, USV operators are turning to alternative sensors for positioning. Without GNSS, a sole inertial navigation system (INS) on a vessel quickly drifts outside of acceptable levels when performing dead-reckoning navigation. By adding a Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) to the USV, operators can perform long-distance, dead-reckoning-based positioning with much lower drift.
USVs using INS in the absence of GNSS achieve improved accuracy with the addition of a DVL, which limits drift inherent to INS-only navigation. (Image: Nortek)
In subsea navigation systems, DVLs provide vehicle velocity information using acoustic returns from the seabed. Because DVLs offer an accurate velocity estimate with no drift, combining a DVL with an INS constrains the drift that would accumulate with an INS alone. Using a DVL allows USVs to maintain position or even navigate without requiring GNSS information, enabling fully autonomous navigation independent of potentially vulnerable signals.
However, deploying DVLs on surface vessels introduces its own set of engineering and operational challenges. Conventional DVLs typically feature protruding transducer heads that are not flush with a vessel’s hull — challenging on smaller or high-speed vessels.

The compact Nortek DVL 333 Surface is designed for flush-hull installation, minimizing drag and protrusion below the hull line. It features a concave, fluid-filled transducer cavity sealed with an acoustic window, allowing for full control of sound velocity and eliminating the need for a hull-mounted speed-of-sound sensor.
When paired with a high-grade INS, the DVL 333 Surface delivers accurate position updates even during GNSS outages or interference. Its 300-meter bottom-track range supports fully autonomous operation in coastal waters, while a water-track mode extends functionality in deeper environments where the bottom is out of range. The DVL333 Surface can also be upgraded to Nortek’s VM Operations vessel-mounted ADCP system. For ease of maintenance, an optional type-certified sea valve allows in-water servicing without dry-docking.
Validating capabilities in the field
The capabilities of the DVL 333 Surface were demonstrated during field trials in the Oslofjord, an inlet in Norway. The test site presented conditions representative of complex coastal environments, where depth can vary significantly over short distances, and the seabed composition ranges from soft sediment to rock. Unlike uniform test sites with flat, sandy bottoms, the Oslofjord provides a realistic proving ground for challenging navigation scenarios.
“Our goal was to demonstrate that a surface vessel can maintain precise positional accuracy even during a complete GNSS blackout, and to do so in truly challenging coastal conditions,” said Torstein Pedersen, Nortek.

The navigation tests were carried out using a DVL 333 Surface integrated with an Exail PHINS 6000 INS. Although the trial track was relatively short, the system’s performance quickly stabilized, achieving a stable, long-term accuracy of approximately 0.05% of distance traveled (for instance, 50 cm error each 1 km traveled). When bottom track was disabled (simulating operation outside of the DVL 333 Surface’s 300 m bottom track range) and only water track was used with the PHINS INS, the horizontal position error remained within 8 meters over a three-hour run, with the DVL operating solely in water-track mode. In this mode, the INS estimates background currents, which were accurately estimated as weak, stationary currents.
“We were particularly impressed with the performance of the system when using just water track mode,” Pedersen said. “The Exail INS was able to use the water track information to estimate currents and correct for them in the navigation, which is not an easy task to do with accuracy over extended periods. This performance is critical for open water navigation.”
These results confirm that the DVL 333 Surface delivers reliable navigation performance in variable bottom conditions and without a direct speed-of-sound measurement. More importantly, they demonstrate the availability of a commercially available DVL that overcomes the challenges typically faced when adapting subsurface systems for surface platforms.
