Gilat Satellite Networks demonstrates AI-based interference detection and cancellation for satellite links

Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. reported a successful demonstration of AI-based interference detection and cancellation technology for satellite communication links, describing results intended to support service continuity when interference and jamming affect signal reception.

In the demonstration, the solution focused on managing interference and jamming in highly contested spectrum environments, including scenarios described as non-cooperative and non-static. Gilat said the approach maintained compatibility with modern satellite communication systems while canceling challenging interference conditions.

The patent-pending solution used AI-based signal processing designed to run on standard AI for edge NPU. Gilat described the preliminary demonstration results as showing up to a 10x improvement in interference detection and cancellation performance compared with conventional interference mitigation techniques, and it reported that the signal of interest remained virtually unaffected after interference cancellation with only negligible degradation in signal quality.

Gilat said it planned to demonstrate the technology on dedicated AI accelerator hardware as a low-power edge solution suitable for deployment in operational satellite communication terminals.

“This achievement demonstrates Gilat's technological leadership in enabling service continuity under severe interference and jamming scenarios, helping ensure robust and resilient satellite communications in highly contested spectrum environments,” said Aharon Mullokandov, Chief R&D Officer at Gilat. “In an environment where spectrum is becoming a crucial resource for both defense and commercial applications, this technology opens new opportunities that were not possible before. Building on this success, Gilat plans to demonstrate the technology on dedicated AI accelerator hardware, paving the way for a low-power edge solution suitable for deployment in operational satellite communication terminals.”

Gilat also included forward-looking statements describing expectations and plans tied to technology development and the demonstration timeline.
