The Topic
Israel Aerospace Industries has introduced HYPNOSIS, a ground-based counter-drone system that uses coordinated GNSS jamming and spoofing to divert or neutralize navigation-dependent drones. Mobile stations linked to a command-and-control center are intended to defend energy facilities, military bases, air-defense sites, and other strategic locations, including against attacks from multiple directions. The system could reduce reliance on expensive interceptors, but its performance against drones using hardened or non-GNSS navigation remains unverified in publicly available data.

Summary
- HYPNOSIS uses mobile electronic-warfare stations and a central command center to jam or spoof satellite navigation.
- IAI positions the system as a soft-kill layer for energy infrastructure, military bases, air-defense arrays, and other strategic sites.
- The system is designed to address coordinated attacks involving multiple drones approaching from different directions.
- IAI claims autonomous operation and integration with existing hard-kill air defenses.
- The approach could lower engagement costs by avoiding missile expenditure against inexpensive drones.
- Public evidence does not establish performance against drones with hardened or alternative navigation, and IAI has not released detailed test data, range, price, or customer information.
