NAVSTAR Global Positioning System User Equipment Space
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio Positioning, Navigation, and Time (PNT) distribution system. GPS User Equipment (UE) consists of standardized receivers, antennas, antenna electronics, etc., grouped together in sets to derive navigation and time information transmitted from GPS satellites. These receiver sets are used by DoD. RDT&E funds UE development, test, and analysis for new PNT receiver capabilities in Navigation Warfare (Navwar) across all military platforms using GPS services. The Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) program is responsible for the development of standard modernized receiver form factors for the service-nominated lead platforms identified in the draft MGUE Capability Development Document (CDD). This new family of modernized GPS receivers will enhance existing and deliver improved capabilities to counter current and emerging Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) threats and enable military operations in a Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) environment where current legacy receiver performance would be compromised. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
