Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR)
Abstract
E-2D Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) prevents loss of Global Positioning System (GPS)by using a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) and Antenna Electronics (AE) unit which will function to provide GPS access in an Electronic Attack (EA) environment. NAVWAR significantly reduces the likelihood of loss of critical GPS Position, Navigation and Timing functionality that is fundamental to E-2D battlespace awareness and its contributions to multiple link networks. Without NAVWAR capability, the E-2D AHE will be unable to provides its services in GPS contested airspace, putting Navy units at unacceptable risk and hindering Joint operational flexibility. NAVWAR capability will allow the E-2D AHE to operate in areas where signal disruption and jamming would prohibit unprotected GPS reception. With this new capability, the E-2D AHE will be able to provide continuous operations in a degraded GPS environment for mission areas that depend on GPS for precise position, navigation, and timing. Planned for DSSC-4.
