- Turkish company EDGE Microwave says it has started domestic and international sales of its HEDGE-8008 anti-jam GNSS CRPA system, designed to maintain navigation in jammed environments.
- The compact, eight-element CRPA targets defense and dual-use platforms and reflects the growing demand for GNSS resiliency amid widespread GPS interference affecting military and civilian systems.
A Turkish technology company developed a compact anti-jam satellite navigation system designed to operate in contested signal environments, as electronic warfare and GPS jamming become increasingly common in modern conflicts.
In a post shared with Defense Blog, Sena represents Yiğit EDGE Microwavesaid the company was founded about 1.5 years ago and focuses on Controlled Receive Pattern Antenna (CRPA) solutions for both defense and commercial users.
“We are a company founded about a year and a half ago, working on CRPA products that provide protection in signal jamming environments for both the defense and commercial sectors,” Yiğit wrote.

The company says it has started selling its HEDGE-8008 system in Turkey and abroad and is receiving positive feedback from early users.
According to company materials, HEDGE-8008 is an eight-element anti-jam GNSS antenna designed to protect satellite navigation receivers from jamming and interference. The product processes incoming signals using adaptive beamforming algorithms to maintain navigation availability under difficult electromagnetic conditions.
EDGE Microwave says the system supports simultaneous multi-constellation GNSS reception via GPS L1, Galileo E1 and BeiDou B1 bands, with up to seven independent jammer suppression channels. The company’s stated technical specifications include nominal jammer suppression above 50 dB, J/S performance above 110 dB when paired with a GNSS receiver, and power consumption below 13 watts.
The company also emphasizes the physical characteristics of the system. HEDGE-8008 measures approximately 9 by 9 by 2.2 centimeters and weighs approximately 275 grams, making it one of the smallest CRPA solutions in its class, according to the product description. EDGE Microwave says the device meets military environmental and electromagnetic compatibility standards, including MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-461F.
EDGE Microwave says the goal behind HEDGE-8008 was to make military-grade GNSS anti-jam capabilities available to platforms that previously could not support traditional CRPA systems due to size, weight or cost limitations.
The company says the compact design allows integration on small UAVs, loitering munitions, maritime platforms, autonomous vehicles and fixed infrastructure.
EDGE Microwave is also positioning HEDGE-8008 as a dual-use product, noting potential applications in precision agriculture, autonomous driving, unmanned logistics and telecommunications infrastructure, where GNSS disruption could have operational implications.
