About

Helix Geospace manufactures GNSS-based antenna systems and anti-jamming solutions for resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) applications across aerospace, defense, critical national infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. The company has developed and patent-protected Dielectrix, a novel approach to creating the smallest helical antennas capable of delivering high performance for GNSS and terrestrial or satellite data communications, combining material science, RF innovation, and precision manufacturing. Helix's product portfolio includes the CRPx Anti-Jamming System, a groundbreaking single-unit solution engineered for Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) efficiency that delivers high-performance protection against GNSS jamming and interference in compact, lightweight designs. The CRPx series is built on Dielectrix antenna architecture and ultra-low power signal processing, ensuring robust GNSS availability in contested environments threatened by software-defined radio (SDR)-based jammers and state-sponsored interference. The company also offers Horizon-Nulling Antennas, GNSS antennas supporting GPS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou, and IRNSS/NavIC constellations, and Iridium antennas for IoT Certus, STL-PNT, and Short Burst Data applications. Helix partners with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation and participates in events like Jammertest Norway. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Oxford, United Kingdom, Helix Geospace has raised $4.0M in seed funding from investors including ESA, UK Innovation Science & Seed Fund, Bloc Ventures, Midven, Texplus, Chilcomb, Johnsons Holdings, Mainspring Fund Services, Changhowe Holding, and Future Planet Capital.
