MOUNTED

Abstract

Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing System (MAPS) implements congressional and OSD guidance to develop and field M-code Ground User Equipment (MGUE) receivers and provides the Army's ground maneuver forces access to assured PNT information under conditions where space-based PNT Global Positioning System (GPS) may be limited or denied. A-PNT products are ruggedized tactical systems which provides electronic protection capabilities that enable Army forces the ability to move, shoot, communicate, and provide situational awareness in Global Positioning System (GPS) challenged or denied environments. MAPS addresses two critical capability gaps: Access and Integrity. Access is the ability to retrieve PNT information in a contested Electronic Warfare/Cyber environment. Integrity is the ability to trust the PNT information. PNT is a critical enabler of many Army Maneuver, Fire and Command and Control systems that are dependent on accurate Position and Timing. Included in the MAPS is the Anti-Jam Antenna System (AJAS) which provides GPS signal point protection. The AJAS will assist in delivering distributed assured PNT capabilities to mounted platforms over time in an iterative, affordable manner that allows for future modernization. FY 2021 Base dollars in the amount of $68.733 million support system engineering and management support, integration, testing and training of the MAPS capability for client platforms.
