MILITARY GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM USER EQUIP
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (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 Military Global Positioning System User Equipment (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 Maturation and Risk Reduction phase. The program received direction in February 2014 from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) to execute a new acquisition strategy, accelerating the program to provide test units faster to facilitate military end users. Based on direction from USD(AT&L) in the April 2015 Deep Dive, the MGUE program is seeking a tailored Milestone B/C decision in 3QFY16. The MGUE Increment 2 effort is planned to begin in FY17 and will continue to employ Military Code (M-Code) receiver technology into additional applications (space receiver, precision guided munitions, and handheld receiver) to meet service requirements. This effort leverages the MGUE Increment 1 technology to the maximum extent while addressing producibility of M-code integrated circuits far into the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joint Service System Management Office (JSSMO) Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers enable precision navigation solutions for warfighters across the spectrum of land, sea and air domains. In 2006, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (ASD (NII)) directed the Air Force to develop production ready M-Code components to meet Service needs. Public Law 111-383 913, effective 7 January 2011, prohibits procurement of GPS equipment unless it is M-Code capable after FY17. The completion of card-level compatibility and security certifications in 2016/2017 will enable integration of M-Code capability into military GPS Receivers. Additionally, in 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published new Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) rules effective January 1, 2020. The ADS-B rule requires platform operators to have ADS-B avionics installed and operating in order to fly Mode S IFF Transponder equipped aircraft into FAA and/or International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Mode S enabled Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground, Surveillance airspace. DoD aircraft are not exempt from the FAA mandate. FY17 funding includes Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) (EGI), Minaturized Airborne GPS Receiver (MAGR), Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR), and Government Reference Architecture development. This acquisition will enable the United States Air Force (USAF) to satisfy the DoD and civil mandates described above. Activities also include, but are not limited to, both current program planning and execution and future program planning. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
