A French company’s new solution can help maintain radio communications in increasingly contested electronic warfare environments. Thales’ TopStar Smart Receiver is a three-in-one ultra-compact solution providing land forces with resilient positioning, navigation and timing capabilities.
The system can be integrated into land vehicles, drones and munitions.
“Powered by cutting-edge technologies, the TopStar Smart Receiver delivers resilient, high-performance Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities for land platforms, drones and munitions,” said Florent Chauvancy, Vice-President, Avionics and Flight activities, Thales.
“Innovative, reliable, competitive and compact, it ensures mission continuity in the most demanding operations, showcasing Thales’ expertise and commitment to innovation in support of the armed forces.”

The new system is a three-in-one ultra-compact solution providing land forces with resilient positioning, navigation and timing capabilities, while maintaining radio communications in increasingly contested electronic warfare environments.
The solution is equipped with a dual-constellation GNSS receiver, integrating signals from military constellations, Galileo PRS, and civilian GPS, and providing resistance to spoofing, with enhanced accuracy and availability.
It also has an anti-jamming function and its adaptive CRPA (Controlled Radiation Pattern Antenna), reduces interference from jammers, and enables operation at distances up to thirty times closer than with a conventional GPS receiver.
