Can Russia’s Guarantor Jamming System Defeat the Starlink Mega-constellation?

As Ukraine uses Starlink-enabled drones to target Russian fuel logistics in occupied Ukraine, Russia’s military is reportedly scaling up efforts to solve one of the harder tactical EW problems of the war: locally denying Starlink connectivity without having to suppress the entire constellation by scaling deployment of an electronic warfare system called Volna Kupol Garant, or “Wave Dome Guarantor.”

From Stack Compression to Trusted Autonomy: The PNT Case Behind Hyfix H1

As small autonomous aircraft move into more demanding operating environments, the PNT challenge is shifting from nominal accuracy to system coherence. Hyfix argues that tighter integration across positioning, timing, estimation, and control can reduce hidden error, improve integrity, and make autonomy stacks more resilient under degraded conditions.
