GPS Receiver Development

Abstract

Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions are critical to offensive and defense operations, 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 adversarial electronic and cyber threats, requiring increased system resiliency and rapid adaptability. 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. Project 651030 includes Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) Modernized (EGI-M), Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver 2000 Modernization (MAGR-2K-M), Resilient GPS (R-EGI) development, Software Defined User Equipment (SDUE), 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/advanced technology and concept development, execution, and future program planning and support to other GPS enabled systems as required, covered within Budget Activities 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5. The PNT Resiliency, Mods, and Improvements (RMI) effort provides rapidly re-programmable application space for Alternate Satellite Navigation Systems User Equipment (UE), enabling agile and resilient response to GPS threat environments. 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 weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2023 2.747M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY2024 9.500M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. The total cost of the R-EGI Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is 249.570M, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The R-EGI program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. 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.
