Embodiments of an apparatus and method for defending a physical zone from airborne and ground-based threats are disclosed. In the various embodiments, an apparatus includes a detection component configured to detect and track a ground-based or airborne threat proximate to the physical zone, an integration component to receive data from the detection component and process the data to determine a threat assessment. A defensive component receives the determined threat assessment and disables the ground-based and airborne threat based upon the determined threat assessment. A method includes detecting an object proximate to the physical zone to be protected, identifying the object as a hostile threat, determining at least one of a path and a point-of-origin for the object, and actuating a defensive system in response to the hostile threat.

Embodiments of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver and method for navigation are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the GNSS receiver includes signal processing circuitry to systematically identify clear channels from channels with persistent interference by performing two or more signal measurements within each of a plurality of channel bands. The channel bands include at least channel bands of at least two or more different global positioning satellite systems such as GPS satellites, GALILEO system satellites or GLONASS system satellites. In some embodiments, the GNSS receiver provides for self-adapting jamming avoidance in satellite navigation systems.
