Steering vector and covariance matrix estimation mismatch along with moving jammer/platform, can affect the performance of null-steering beamformer. In this paper, by utilizing null-widening, null-deepening and diagonal loading shrinkage in space–time adaptive processing (STAP) structure, two methods for nullifying GNSS (global navigation satellite system) jamming/interference in cruise moving platforms are introduced. The enhanced performance of the proposed methods is investigated through numerical simulations. The results indicate improvement in the number of acquired GNSS satellites, in heavy jamming (GNSS denied) scenario, by reconstructing and acquiring at least 87% of satellites.
