Navigation Systems

Abstract

The Navigation Systems product line consists of the software and hardware development, integration, test, and fielding necessary to ensure the F-22's ability to maintain Precision, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities, to include in GPS degraded environments. As part of the F-22 Capability Pipeline and through Section 804 Middle Tier Acquisition authority, this effort will include the integration of Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System (INS) Modernization (EGI-M) onto the F-22 for M-Code, replacement of the legacy GPS antenna with a robust Controlled Radiation Pattern Antenna (CRPA), as well as other capabilities, to prevent exploitation of the weapon system by adversaries and provide assured PNT. This major thrust also captures F-22 program activities related to integrating the advanced Talon SPITBALL Link 16 antenna onto the F-22. F-22 Navigation Systems is conducted using a rapid acquisition construct leveraging commercial best practices such as Agile and Lean. This allows the F-22 Raptor program to develop, test, and field software/hardware from multiple programs (product lines) using a scheduled cadence for capabilities as they mature.
