PNT Resiliency, Mods, and Improvements

Abstract

PE 0604201F, Project 641030 covers the research, development, qualification, and testing of Enhanced Anti-Jam (EAJ) Military Code (M-Code) Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers for Air Force and joint weapon systems. This includes updates to weapon mission planning software to support new M-Code and EAJ receiver development. These acquisitions will enable the Air Force to increase its operational Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) resiliency while satisfying the DoD and civil mandates. Fielding of EAJ M-Code weapons requires the research, development, qualification and testing of M-Code receivers across the Air Force Program Executive Officer (AFPEO) Weapons Portfolio. Funds may be used to address emerging and short notice Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver M-Code GPS receiver capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This effort 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.
