NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (User Equipment) (SPACE)

Abstract

Starting in FY13, Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) funding is transferred to this project in PE 0305164F. 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, integration, test, and analysis for new PNT receiver capabilities in Navigation Warfare (Navwar) across all military platforms using GPS services. The MGUE Increment 1 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 deliver significantly improved capability to counter current and emerging PNT threats and enable military operations in a Navwar environment where current legacy receiver performance would be compromised. MGUE Increment 2 is an effort to develop a government-defined Common GPS Module (CGM) and reduce the size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) of military GPS receivers. MGUE Increment 2 received Materiel Development Decision (MDD) approval and authorization for entry into Materiel Solution Analysis phase. 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.
