Overview
- The Ministry of Defence signed a Rs 449 crore contract on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, with Bengaluru‑based Accord Software and Systems Private Limited for 20 Enhanced Capability GNSS (ECGNSS) jammers for the Indian Navy.
- The systems are built to degrade adversary satellite signal acquisition and tracking and to carry out signal spoofing or deceptive jamming against GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS and NavIC receivers.
- The purchase was placed under the Buy (Indian‑IDDM) route and requires a minimum of 75% indigenous content, with the signing witnessed by Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi.
- The MoD says the jammers will help ships operate more safely in multi‑threat maritime environments, but officials have not disclosed a delivery schedule, basing plans or operational integration details; the order has also drawn market interest that could benefit domestic suppliers.
- The move follows reporting of rising GNSS interference and spoofing incidents between 2023 and 2025 and fits a decade‑long push to grow India’s defence industry, which has seen major increases in production and exports and greater private‑sector participation.
