Eviden and Thales today announce the integration of Thales’ Galileo PRS capability into Eviden’s P3TS1 military satellite navigation receiver, used by the French army.

This enhancement strengthens the resilience of the army’s vehicle positioning system by improving its resistance to electronic warfare threats, including jamming and spoofing, while ensuring the integrity and security of positioning data in highly contested operational environments.

The solution will be available in two configurations. The first integrates the TopStar Galileo PRS Core Module, providing access to Galileo PRS signals alongside Galileo and GPS open-service signals. The second combines either GPS or the TopStar Smart Receiver, adding advanced anti-jamming capabilities to the later. Both configurations feature a high-precision clock that maintains synchronization of tactical radios, even in the event of a loss of GNSS signals.

This new P3TS PRS version builds on the industrialization and operational support programme entrusted to Eviden by the French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA). It reflects Eviden’s expertise in integrating and deploying real-time tactical situational awareness solutions, as well as its capabilities in deploying SICS (SCORPION Combat Information System). By offering two Galileo PRS integration options, P3TS PRS can be tailored to the operational requirements and constraints of a wide range of land platforms.

P3TS PRS strengthens European strategic autonomy by reducing reliance on GPS and addresses the armed forces’ need for sovereign, resilient solutions that can be rapidly deployed in operational theatres where jamming and spoofing threats are increasing.

“We are honored to be able to offer the armed forces a more resilient version of P3TS, thanks to the integration of Thales’ Galileo PRS solutions, enabling more secure and reliable missions in high-risk, high-intensity environments. P3TS PRS delivers the accuracy, positioning reliability, resistance to jamming and high availability expected by the armed forces,” said Bernard Payer, head of Mission-Critical Systems, Eviden, Atos Group.

“By combining Thales’ expertise in resilient navigation with Eviden’s proven know-how, we are preserving the operational ability of ground vehicles in electronic warfare environments. Thales is the only company to have developed a Galileo PRS security module in France and to offer a range of modular GNSS receivers – a decisive asset for the forces. ” said Florent Chauvancy, vice president Flight Avionics, Thales.
