MoD Signs ₹449-crore deal with Bengaluru firm for indigenous GNSS jammers for Indian Navy
New Delhi, June 10. The Ministry of Defence on Junesigned a ₹449-crore contract with Bengaluru-based Accord Software and Systems Private Limited (ASSPL) for the procurement of 20 Enhanced Capability Global Navigation Satellite System (ECGNSS) Jammers for the Indian Navy, marking a significant boost to the country’s maritime electronic warfare capabilities.
The agreement, signed under the Buy (Indian-Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured) category, was inked in New Delhi in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh. The project will have a minimum indigenous content of 75 percent, in line with the government’s push for self-reliance in defence production.
According to the Defence Ministry, the ECGNSS jammers are designed to disrupt the signal acquisition and tracking capabilities of adversary Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. The systems are also capable of signal spoofing and deceptive jamming, enabling Indian naval platforms to counter hostile navigation and targeting systems in a complex threat environment.
The induction of the systems is expected to enhance the operational safety and survivability of Indian Navy ships while strengthening their ability to function effectively in multi-threat scenarios.
The ministry said the contract reinforces the government’s commitment to the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-reliant India) and ‘Make in India’ initiatives while contributing to the country’s maritime security architecture.
Officials described the agreement as an important milestone in ongoing efforts to strengthen indigenous defence capabilities and accelerate the development and deployment of advanced military technologies.
