Indian Navy to receive 20 advanced jammers for ₹449 crore

The Ministry of Defence has finalized a ₹449 crore contract with Accord Software and Systems Private Limited (ASSPL) for the acquisition of 20 Enhanced Capability Global Navigation Satellite System (ECGNSS) Jammers for the Indian Navy. This procurement, signed in New Delhi on June 10, 2026, emphasizes indigenous development, meeting a minimum of 75% local content under the Buy (Indian-Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured) category.

The advanced jammers are engineered to degrade an adversary's ability to acquire and track satellite navigation signals, and to perform deceptive jamming or signal spoofing. This capability is crucial for ensuring the safe operations of Indian naval vessels in complex, multi-threat electromagnetic environments, particularly in contested maritime settings.

This deal aligns with the government's broader objectives of reducing reliance on imported defense technologies and bolstering the domestic defense industrial base. The acquisition is expected to significantly enhance the Indian Navy's electronic warfare capabilities and contribute to self-reliance in critical defense technologies.
