Reconnaissance in a Baltic Sea exercise
Ten days of reconnaissance flights in a multinational exercise, including flights with satellite positioning jammed for the whole flight.
The task
Exercise planners wanted to see whether a small ISR aircraft could keep flying useful patterns with satellite positioning denied, and feed into a battalion’s existing command system.
What we did
Vinga flew reconnaissance flights for ten days alongside a reconnaissance company. Several flights were flown with satellite positioning jammed from take-off to landing. Detections went into the unit’s command system through the standard interface.
What came out of it
All flights under jamming were completed, with position error held below 50 m by terrain and coastline matching. Details are shared with defence customers under NDA. Exports are licensed by the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products.
