Navigation/Id System

Abstract

Reliable and secure navigation and positive identification (ID) systems are essential elements of battle management in the naval environment. The Photonics Imaging System (0253) is a non-hull penetrating replacement for existing optical periscopes. The Photonics Imaging System exploits a wide portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum utilizing advanced Electro-Optic/thermal imaging, and communications intercept/Electronic Warfare Support (ES). The Integrated Submarine Imaging System (ISIS) (0253) is a back fit system to integrate all imaging capabilities on existing submarine classes. The Combat Identification System (CIS) project (1253) for Mark XIIA, and Improved Identification Development (0676) for AN/UPX-29(V), covers the Mark XIIA Mode 5 upgrade to the existing Mark XII family of systems that is Joint and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) interoperable. Per OSD direction, NATO participation is encouraged and performance data is exchanged to ensure the opportunity for interoperability with allied identification systems is maximized. In addition to distinguishing friend from foe for weapons employment, the Navy requires secure, jam resistant Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems for battle group air defense management and air traffic control. Identification is multifaceted and includes information received from several sensors (both cooperative and non-cooperative systems). Navigation Satellite Timing & Ranging (NAVSTAR) Global Positioning System (GPS) project (0921) is a space-based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) system that provides authorized users with secure, worldwide, all weather, three dimensional position, velocity and precise time data. Navy Air and Sea Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) are major elements of the GPS program. NAVWAR's mission is to provide continued access to GPS information in a denied environment. NAVWAR accomplishes this through the use of enhanced user equipment (UE). The GPS-based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Service (GPNTS) system is being developed to replace stand-alone AN/WRN-6 receivers, integrated NAVSSI systems, and integrated commercial-off-the-shelf GPS systems. Additionally, future capability will migrate toward a Common Computing Environment (CCE) such as Consolidated Afloat Networks Enterprise Services (CANES), and provide a path for the integration of advanced navigation systems and sensors. NAVSTAR GPS supports Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) by providing Assured-PNT (A-PNT) capability to C4ISR and combat systems in standalone and networked architectures throughout the air and maritime domains. GPNTS will support the Joint Aerial Layer Network-Maritime (JALN-M). JALN-M is the Navy implementation of the JALN architecture which provides assured communications in any environment, especially A2AD. GPS Modernization addresses the Navy's future integration of GPS Directorate Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) products being developed that will enable the use of new signals in space. GPS Modernization consists of multiple parallel efforts that address the Navy's integration of multiple next generation GPS receivers that provide Naval air, surface, subsurface and weapon platforms improved access to GPS signals in challenged and jamming environments. Modernized GPS receivers to utilize the new Military-Code (M-Code) GPS Signal in Space, incorporate enhanced cryptology, deliver greater position and time accuracy, and provide improved protection against signal spoofing as compared to legacy receivers. Additionally, GPS Modernization delivers increased GPS anti-jam protection and enables blue force GPS electronic attack JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under System Development and Demonstration because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2017
• Source ID: 0604777N_5_1319_PB_2017
• Change Summary Explanation: Decrease in Navigation/ID System by $1.31M as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. Technical: GPS Modernization (0921) was established to accelerate integration of enhanced and protected GPS products being developed into Naval platforms in order to provide improved access to GPS signals in challenged and jamming environments, incorporate enhanced cryptology, deliver greater position and time accuracy, provide improved protection against signal spoofing, deliver increased GPS anti-jam protection, and enable blue force GPS electronic attack. This effort supports Navy compliance with Public Law 111-383 which mandates only M-Code capable receivers can be procured beginning in FY18. Schedule: GPS Modernization (0921) - Integration efforts will be conducted from FY17-20 in order to field MGUE onto the Navy's air, surface, subsurface, and weapons platforms.
