NAVSTAR Global Positioning System User Equipment Space

Abstract

The Navstar 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 Modernized User Equipment (MUE) program serves as a technology demonstration and risk reduction effort to provide the technical foundation for the Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) program which is the next generation of GPS UE. The objectives of the MUE program are to demonstrate that enhanced modernized capabilities are achievable in ground embedded and aviation form factor solutions, successfully mature the Critical Technologies Elements (CTE), establish a modernized Information Assurance architecture, implement the USD(AT&L) Trusted Foundry process, and subject the receiver prototypes to the Government's pilot Security Certification and Performance Evaluation process. This program element is in Budget Activity 7 - Operational System Development, because UE supports operational systems.
