Embedded GPS/INS - Modernized (EGI-M)
Abstract
EGI-M is a combined INS/GPS aircraft position, navigation, and timing system. Program upgrades EGI design to enhance resiliency against existing and emerging navigational warfare threats, incorporating design features (such as interface standardization and software modularity) to incorporate alternative navigation and timing sources, where cost effective, to reduce DoD cost and time lines to respond to newly identified threats and maintain current force capabilities. Incorporates M-Code and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) compliance capability into EGI receivers while addressing parts obsolescence, reducing configuration count from 260+ to a desired end-state of 16, and decreasing production and sustainment costs. EGI-M has two prime contractors: Northrop Grumman and Honeywell.
