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, radio frequency monitoring/locating/reporting capabilities, and precision clock improvements to maintain current and future force capabilities. Efforts transferred from PE 0305164F and now conducted under PE 0604201F, Project 651030 includes Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) Modernized (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/non-GPS PNT solutions. Activities also include, but are not limited to, current program planning, rapid prototyping/concept development, execution and future program planning and support to other GPS enabled systems as required. 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, 0605898F, and 0605833F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
