GPS Receiver Development

Abstract

Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions are critical to defense operations by enabling delivery of precision fires, safe aerial navigation and time coordination across multiple platforms and subsystems. PNT must be maintained in the face of emerging and continuously evolving electronic and cyber threats, requiring increased system resiliency and rapid adaptability similar to that historically required of electronic warfare systems. Evolving threats will drive upgrades such as Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver modernization, development of standard navigational system formats/interfaces, increased use of open system architecture design principles, incorporation of alternative navigation sources into navigational solutions, advanced anti-jam antennas, antenna electronics and precision clock improvements to maintain current force capabilities. Efforts transferred from PE 0305164F and now conducted under PE 0604201F, Project 651030 include Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) Modernization (EGI-M), Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver 2000 Modernization (MAGR 2K-M), Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR), Resilient EGI (R-EGI) development, anti-jam antenna/antenna electronics development, Situational Awareness devices and other advanced/alternative PNT solutions. Activities also include, but are not limited to, both current program planning and execution and future program planning. Funds may be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortage (DMSMS) issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver PNT solutions. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. This program is in Budget Activity 5, Engineering and Manufacturing Development, because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. Production funding for modernized airborne receivers is not covered in this PE and will be requested by using platform when necessary.
