Paris Air Show – Le Bourget, June 2025 – Safran Electronics & Defense proudly announces the launch of Skylight™, a multi-mode military GNSS receiver designed to withstand electronic warfare threats. Unveiled at the Paris Air Show, Skylight™ is a compact, resilient, and high-integrity GNSS solution.

Skylight™ marks a major milestone as the world’s first GNSS receiver flight-tested with compatibility for Galileo PRS (Public Regulated Service). Its performance was validated during flight trials aboard a combat aircraft. This receiver delivers encrypted, spoofing-resistant PRS signals, significantly enhancing security for operations in contested environments.

The GNSS receiver is also M-Code compatible, ensuring interoperability with U.S. and allied military systems. It includes a certified civil GPS channel, enabling navigation in civil airspace when required. This eliminates the need for a separate civil GPS receiver, offering significant weight and cost savings for platform integrators.
