M-Code

Abstract

The M-Code ACAT IVT Increment I program upgrades the Tactical Tomahawk to the next generation Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation required to maintain GPS-provided position, navigation, and timing (PNT) for the missiles and is estimated to be available for operations in FY 2024. The M-code mandate and Public Law restricts the purchase of only M-code-capable GPS User Equipment (MGUE) after FY 2017 unless a waiver is granted by the Secretary of Defense. Previous enacted budgets have resulted in M-Code program elongation. For M-Code Increment I Milestone B (conducted 4Q2019), RDTE funds were re-phased enabling the M-Code program to be fully funded and executable.
