IAI Unveils Hypnosis GNSS Soft Kill System

In an era where modern warfare increasingly relies on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), the threat of precision-guided weapons poses a significant risk to strategic targets and critical infrastructure. Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has unveiled its response to this evolving threat: Hypnosis, a cutting-edge soft-kill system designed to neutralize GNSS-guided threats.

IAI's Hypnosis System Explained

The Hypnosis system is presented as an autonomous, non-kinetic defense solution. It comprises a Command and Control (C2) unit that operates an array of high-end transmission stations. This network provides regional protection against threats that depend on GNSS for navigation and targeting. The system's core capability lies in its ability to employ jamming and spoofing techniques across multiple frequency bands, various GNSS constellations, and in different directions. This multi-faceted approach is intended to effectively disrupt the precise guidance of incoming threats.

Addressing Evolving Threats

IAI highlights that the Hypnosis system is engineered to mitigate multiple threats simultaneously. A key feature is its negligible interception cost, suggesting a cost-effective solution for defense. The system is designed to complement existing hard-kill defense mechanisms and can be easily integrated with any C2 system. IAI positions Hypnosis as an 'invisible line of defense when it matters most,' emphasizing its role in safeguarding critical assets against sophisticated, GNSS-dependent weaponry.
