The GNSS 1000-S is based on the selective availability anti-spoofing module technology, which enables access to military GPS encrypted signals.

The technology uses signal processing providing extended satellite-tracking capabilities related to precision, integrity, availability and jamming robustness in adverse operational conditions.

The company has also deployed the military GPS receivers on French multi-missions frigates, long-range cruise missiles, Tiger helicopters, C-135 transport aircraft, ATL-2 Marine Patrol Aircraft and the UK’s Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft programme.
