Software Defined User Equipment
Abstract
SDUE will develop a Software Defined Receiver (SDR) hosted on a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) delivering an M-Code GNSS receiver prototype with agile reprogramming capability to provide robust, resilient PNT against navigational warfare (NAVWAR) and cyber threats with a government owned technical baseline. SDUE will also develop an associated antenna electronics capability utilizing COTS FPGA equipment to support the ingest of new satellite signals/capabilities and assist in handling these signals in a software reprogrammable environment. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and antenna electronics will interface directly with REGI via open standards. SDUE is part of the larger Navigation Technology Satellite (NTS)-3 Air Force Vanguard effort. SDUE supports and is an enabler for the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF) Operational Effectiveness Imperative (OEI) #1.
