HawkEye 360 Inc., a global leader in space-based radio frequency (RF) intelligence, has unveiled significant upgrades to its GNSS Interference (GNSS-I) Detection product suite. The enhancements are aimed at bolstering defense, intelligence, and national security operations, particularly in contested and GPS-denied environments.
The improved system introduces a new wide-frequency algorithm, refined spoofing detection, and terrain-adjusted geolocation—advancing the platform’s accuracy and enabling detailed identification of GPS jamming and spoofing threats. The upgrades mark a strategic advancement in real-time detection and mitigation of interference, providing critical situational awareness for high-risk missions.
“In contested environments, timely RF intelligence is the key to mission success,” said Todd Probert, President of HawkEye 360’s U.S. Government Business Unit. “While traditional land, sea, and air systems face limitations, our satellites offer persistent global coverage, enabling faster, more informed decisions and neutralizing threats before they escalate.”

Designed specifically for modern military needs, the new capabilities address increasing reliance on GNSS for navigation and timing in operations where interference can disrupt command-and-control, ISR, and precision strike missions. HawkEye 360’s solution helps identify and geolocate spoofers—transmitters that mimic legitimate GPS PRN codes—to within kilometer-level accuracy, a growing concern in environments where adversaries employ electronic deception tactics.
The enhanced GNSS-I suite now delivers:
- 15x improvement in geolocation density
- Integrated spoofing detection and discrimination
- Terrain-adjusted modeling for increased location accuracy
- Consistent, wide-area monitoring to support rapid threat response

“By incorporating terrain-aware analytics, our technology offers a decisive edge in detecting GPS interference whether in mountainous terrain or urban centers,” said Alex Fox, President of HawkEye 360’s International Business Unit. “We provide RF intelligence that helps defense teams act decisively and maintain strategic advantage.”
With these upgrades, HawkEye 360 continues to position itself as a critical enabler of operational resilience in the face of increasingly sophisticated electronic warfare threats. The GNSS-I Detection product suite is part of the company’s broader effort to deliver actionable, high-confidence intelligence to allied defense and intelligence communities worldwide.
