Military Global Positioning System (GPS) Augmentation System (MGAS)

Abstract

The Military GPS Augmentation System (MGAS) will demonstrate, through the use of a geo-synchronous, high power L-band transponder and leveraging existing architectures, a sensor-to-weapon data link which will permit targeting data updates, multiple secure message channels, and reduce the possibility of target area GPS jamming by providing a greater signal power in theater.
