Navstar GPS
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio Positioning, Navigation, and Time (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, test, and analysis for new PNT receiver capabilities in Navigation Warfare (Navwar) across all military platforms using GPS services. Additionally, it funds the integration with service nominated Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) lead platforms, development of software upgrades, product improvement studies, GPS UE test and evaluation and mission support. Due to increasing military dependence on GPS and emerging Electronic Warfare (EW) threat, the Navwar program was established to address EW solutions for GPS. Key elements of Navwar include protecting U.S. military and allies' use of GPS, preventing hostile exploitation of GPS, and preserving civil use of GPS outside the area of operations (AO). Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) will continue the proof of concept work accomplished by the Modernized User Equipment (MUE) effort which laid the foundation for the next generation of air and ground GPS UE that will receive Y-code, Military (M)-code, and Coarse Acquisition code (YMCA). This program element is in Budget Activity 7 - Operational System Development, because UE supports operational systems.
