Global Positioning System (GPS) Modernization
Abstract
GPS Modernization funds the Navy's integration of Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE), being developed by the Air Force GPS Directorate into various receivers on Navy air and sea platforms. This project is responsible for the Navy's single voice on providing service requirements to Air Force receiver development programs and coordinate Navy reviews of Air Force GPS receiver documentation. Tasking includes overall centralized planning, coordination and budgeting of the non-recurring engineering required to conduct systems engineering, integration, and testing for multiple individual platform. This effort includes use of core expertise and platform program office government engineers to conduct systems engineering, review and oversight of prime vendor engineering documents, and develop government test plans. The integration timeline is 5+ years from planning to test and is dependent on platform type. Receivers will be procured through existing JSSMO contracts and integrated on Navy platforms using Prime vendor contracts held by each platform's program office. The MGUE card will be integrated into the receiver and tested by the prime vendor for each platform type. Testing will be accomplished by leveraging test events existing in the platform's Program of Record (POR) upgrade cycle. Integration of MGUE provides access to the GPS M-Code to address emerging threats to use of GPS. This effort supports Navy's compliance with Public Law 111-383 which requires that all GPS user equipment be capable of receiving the new GPS M-Code signal after FY 2017.
