India procures 20 indigenous GNSS jammers for naval electronic warfare

India’s Ministry of Defence has approved the procurement of 20 advanced GNSS jammers at a cost of Rs 449 crore. The systems have 75% indigenous content and are meant to strengthen maritime security and electronic warfare capabilities. The jammers are designed to disrupt adversary satellite navigation signals, including GPS. The acquisition comes amid rising interference incidents affecting navigation and communications. The move is also aimed at improving operational resilience across multiple domains. It fits into India’s broader push for defence indigenisation and maritime preparedness.
