Palantir a high-risk investment with ’a one-of-a-kind growth and margin model’
CHANDLER, Ariz. - Inertial Labs, a subsidiary of VIAVI Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV), a $2.57 billion market cap technology company with annual revenue of $1 billion and strong gross margins of 59%, announced the release of its new anti-jamming antenna system, the M-AJ-QUATRO, designed to provide secure and reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. According to InvestingPro data, 8 analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward for the upcoming period. The technology is aimed at ensuring uninterrupted GPS/GNSS access in environments where jamming and spoofing threats are prevalent.
The M-AJ-QUATRO is equipped with Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) and advanced digital processing capabilities to combat interference in critical applications such as military operations and commercial aviation. The system operates across L1, L2, and L5 GNSS bands and is compatible with multiple satellite constellations including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU, and QZSS. VIAVI’s strong liquidity position, with current assets more than three times its short-term obligations, supports its continued investment in innovative technologies like the M-AJ-QUATRO.
The device features adaptive digital nulling technology that can automatically suppress jamming signals, boasting over 34dB+ interference suppression in its export-free version and over 45dB+ in the export-controlled variant. Additionally, it includes jammer direction-finding capabilities to enhance situational awareness by identifying and isolating interference sources.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) are expediting the approval process for CRPA technology to improve aviation safety. The M-AJ-QUATRO’s launch aligns with these regulatory shifts, positioning it as a viable solution for both military and civilian applications.
Jamie Marraccini, Vice President at Inertial Labs, emphasized the product’s readiness for market in light of the FAA and NAWCAD’s push for CRPA integration into commercial aircraft. The system’s robust design adheres to stringent MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F standards, making it suitable for defense and aerospace operations.
Inertial Labs, with over two decades of experience in the industry, specializes in Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation Systems (INSs), and other sensor fusion products. VIAVI Solutions, the parent company, provides network test, monitoring, and assurance solutions across various sectors, including telecommunications and aerospace. The company’s stock has shown strong momentum, gaining over 28% in the past six months.
