Raytheon UK’s Landshield Plus to Strengthen CV90 Vehicles Against GPS Jamming and Spoofing

BAE Systems has contracted Raytheon UK to supply its advanced Landshield Plus GPS anti-jamming system for integration into the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle, significantly boosting the platform’s resilience against electronic interference. Deliveries are planned between 2025 and 2029, marking a major step in ensuring secure navigation on the modern battlefield.

Key Features of Landshield Plus

• Integrated Design: The system combines a multi-element antenna and an anti-jam processor into one compact unit, making it easier to install and reducing complexity.

• Seven-Element Antenna: A high-precision seven-element array allows the system to suppress unwanted signals by steering nulls directly at hostile jammers.

• L1 & L2 GPS Protection: It operates on both the L1 and L2 GPS frequency bands, the most critical for military navigation.

• Multiple Jammer Handling: Capable of simultaneously countering up to six jammers across these frequency bands.

• Spoofing Detection: Equipped with advanced spoofing recognition, it can identify counterfeit GPS signals designed to mislead receivers.

• Networked Resilience: When multiple vehicles are equipped, the system can share data to triangulate the source of jamming or spoofing, turning a defensive tool into actionable intelligence.

• Low SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power): Compact and lightweight, the system requires minimal power, enabling use not just on ground vehicles but also on air and naval platforms.

Strategic Implications

The CV90, designed by BAE Systems Hägglunds, is widely deployed across European armies. By equipping it with Landshield Plus, operators will gain enhanced protection against one of the fastest-growing threats in modern warfare — GPS denial and manipulation. This upgrade ensures CV90 crews can maintain reliable navigation, situational awareness, and coordinated operations even under intense electronic attack.

The system also provides a broader tactical advantage: its ability to localise and report hostile jamming attempts can deliver critical battlefield intelligence, helping commanders respond decisively.

Official Statement

James Gray, Managing Director and Chief Executive of Raytheon UK, highlighted the growing demand for GPS resilience:
“There is a growing demand for resilient GPS across today’s complex battlefield. The Landshield Plus anti-jam solution delivers exceptional performance in one integrated system, making it an ideal choice for modern combat vehicles such as the CV90.”

The integration of Landshield Plus into the CV90 fleet represents a decisive move to safeguard critical navigation and communication capabilities. With deliveries set between 2025 and 2029, BAE Systems and Raytheon UK are ensuring that the CV90 remains one of the most advanced and resilient infantry fighting vehicles in the world.
