Ministry
of defence (MoD) signed a contract with Accord Software and Systems Private
Limited (ASSPL), Bengaluru for the procurement of 20 Enhanced Capability Global
Navigation Satellite System (ECGNSS) Jammers for the Indian Navy at a total
cost of Rs 449 crore with minimum 75 per cent indigenous content. The contract,
under the Buy (Indian-Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured)
category, was inked in the presence of defence secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in
New Delhi on 10 June 2026.
The
system’s capabilities include degrading the satellite signal acquisition and
tracking performance of the adversary GNSS receiver and signal spoofing or
deceptive jamming. The induction would pave the way for safe operations by the
ships of the Indian Navy in a multi-threat environment.
The
contract reinforces the government’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make
in India while bolstering the maritime security architecture of the
country. It marks a critical milestone in the ongoing efforts to bolster
defence capabilities and indigenise advanced military technology.
