MILITARY GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM USER EQUIP
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio Positioning, Navigation, and Time (PNT) distribution system. GPS User Equipment (UE) consists of standardized receivers, antennas, antenna electronics, etc., grouped together in sets to derive navigation and time information transmitted from GPS satellites. These receiver sets are used by DoD. RDT&E funds UE development, integration, test, and analysis for new PNT receiver capabilities in Navigation Warfare (Navwar) across all military platforms using GPS services. The MGUE Increment 1 program is responsible for the development of standard modernized receiver form factors for the service-nominated lead platforms identified in the draft MGUE Capability Development Document (CDD). This new family of modernized GPS receivers will deliver significantly improved capability to counter current and emerging PNT threats and enable military operations in a Navwar environment where current legacy receiver performance would be compromised. MGUE Increment 1 received a Milestone A decision in April 2012 and is in the Technology Development acquisition phase. The program received approval in Dec 2013 from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to begin planning towards an alternate acquisition strategy to accelerate the program and provide units faster to military end users. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
