B-1B Global Positioning System (GPS) Military-Code (M-Code)

Abstract

Aircraft RDT&E efforts include modernization of the Global Positioning System (GPS) Military Code (M-Code). This effort will integrate a military GPS receiver delivering improved capabilities to allow for accurate and reliable positioning, navigation, and timing for B-1 primary flight instrumentation, navigation, radar, weapon, and communication systems where current receiver performance might be compromised or unavailable. M-Code has a higher-power signal offering better resistance to jamming and interference; advanced security features to prevent unauthorized access or exploitation by adversaries; and improved message formats and signal modulation technique for faster and more accurate performance. This is a New Start effort in FY2017.
