Global Positioning System (GPS) Modernization
Abstract
GPS Modernization delivers increased GPS Anti-Jam (AJ) protection through modernized GPS receivers that will utilize the new Military Code (M-Code) GPS Signal in Space, incorporate enhanced cryptology, enable blue force GPS electronic attack, deliver greater position and time accuracy, and provide improved protection against signal spoofing as compared to legacy receivers. This project funds the Navy's integration of M-Code capable GPS receivers being developed by the United States Air Force (USAF) GPS Directorate into various receivers on Navy air platforms. This effort supports Navy's compliance with Public Law 111-383, which requires that all GPS user equipment be capable of receiving the new GPS M-Code signal after FY 2017. To meet the Navy's mandate, system engineering and requirement development efforts must begin before actual delivery of Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE). The integration timeline of modernized GPS receivers is 5+ years from planning to test and is dependent on platform type. Each platform uses a unique GPS receiver, and has a unique GPS system configuration, which requires separate parallel efforts to include software updates to avionics and mission computers as well as modifications to the airframe based on Size, Weight and Power and Cost (SWaP-C) requirements; coordination with each Program Management Air (PMA) organization; management, oversight and support of the effort; and contracting and working with the identified Prime Vendor Integrator for the platform. Project currently consists of seven (7) parallel efforts that integrate four (4) different M-Code GPS receivers into seven (7) different type model series aircraft.
