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, and other related equipment, grouped together in sets to derive navigation and time information transmitted from GPS satellites. These receiver sets are used by the Department of Defense (DoD). Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (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. The MGUE Capability Development Document (CDD) was approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) on 24 Jul 2014. MGUE Increment 1 is initiating a new family of modernized GPS receivers that 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. 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. The MGUE program received a Milestone B decision in January 2017 and is in the Engineering and Manufacturing phase. The MGUE Increment 2 effort 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) 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 Jan 2011, prohibits procurement of GPS equipment unless it is M-Code capable after FY2017. The completion of card level compatibility and security certification 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 Identification Friend or Foe (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. In FY 2018, JSSMO efforts transferred to Program Element (PE) 0604201F. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The current and future space domain demands that space systems be responsive to new and changing threats, and can rapidly integrate new capabilities to make our warfighting force more resilient in a contested battlespace. This agility, survivability, and rapid reconstitution must extend through the entire space warfighting enterprise, to include how we learn about the threat; develop solutions; acquire, test, deploy, train, operate and integrate new systems into the greater system of systems; and ensure our space mission force is ready to defeat a thinking adversary in a complex, multi-domain battlespace. The enterprise will use all of its elements to accelerate decision-making, prototype potential solutions, rapidly integrate decision-making tools and sustain a war-winning capability by delivering multi-domain effects in, from, and through space and cyberspace enabling battle management and resilience options to "fight through." This PE may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver MGUE capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in PEs 1206392F and 1206398F. 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.
