InfiniDome Ltd., a GPS security company, demonstrated increased GNSS resiliency to hostile jamming by 400% in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) flight trials sponsored by the Israeli government, according to the company. The drone’s GPS receiver overcame GPS jamming scenarios using infiniDome’s GPSdome protection, which locked on and maintained the GNSS signals throughout the jamming tests.
GPSdome is intended for anti-jamming protection of UAS airframes where extended range, critical missions and resilient navigation are required in tactical environments. infiniDome’s GPSdome anti-jamming solution is a small, add-on module that protects any GNSS/GPS receiver, the company stated. Using two off-the-shelf antennas and interfacing to the GNSS receiver at the RF level, its patented system differentiates the drone primarily for beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) and mission-critical operations such as surveillance, autonomous deliveries and border patrol.

5 startups and companies will receive a total of ~ 6 million NIS in grants to perform pilots demonstrating drone technologies in a managed airspace
.
Aharon Aharon, CEO Israel Innovation Authority: “Operating drones in a managed urban airspace is one of the most significant challenges prior to establishing regulation and integration of autonomous drones in Israel’s airspace. Implementation of this pilot program, while demonstrating the operation of various drones by a number of different operators in the same airspace, marks the beginning of a new age in Israel’s smart transportation. From delivery of medicines, tests and medical equipment, on to agricultural spraying and postal services or food delivery to the customer’s home, this constitute a revolution in transportation as we know it. Together with our different partners, the acceleration of the ecosystem will allow Israel to lead the new age on a global level.”

Israel’s Settlement Affairs Ministry revealed Sunday details of its scheme to legalize 70 settlement outposts in the West Bank.
These will be added to the 132 official settlements that have been established since 1967, when the West Bank was occupied.
The outposts are random settlements that were built by extremists without a government decision, but they are protected by the Israeli army and receive basic government services, such as electricity, water, education, and others.
There are currently 130 outposts, inhabited by about 10,000 settlers, of which 46 are large, with dozens of families residing in each one of them.
