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, particularly in Global Positioning System (GPS) degraded environments. As part of the F-22 Rapid Prototyping Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) program, previously known as the Capability Pipeline, this effort will include the integration of Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) Modernization (EGI-M) for M-Code, replacement of the legacy GPS antenna with a robust Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA), as well as other capabilities, all working together to prevent exploitation of the weapon system by adversaries and to provide an anti-jam PNT solution. 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 enterprise to develop, test, and field software/hardware from multiple programs (product lines) using a scheduled cadence for matured capabilities.
