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 MGUE Capability Development Document (CDD), approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council(JROC) on 24 Jul 2014. 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 direction in February 2014 from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to execute a new acquisition strategy, accelerating the program to provide units faster for military end users. The MGUE program is seeking a tailored Milestone B/C decision in FY16. The MGUE Increment 2 effort is planned to begin in FY17 and will continue to employ M-Code receiver technology into additional applications to meet service requirements. This effort builds on the MGUE Increment 1 technology bringing improved capability to meet applications beyond the four lead platforms. 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. Funding for this exhibit contained in PE 0305164F. The FY2016 funding request was reduced by $0.078 million to account for the availability of prior execution balances.
