MOUNTED

Abstract

The Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing System (MAPS GEN II) will meet congressional (10 USC 2281) and Department of Defense guidance to provide resilient, survivable, M-Code capable Ground User Equipment (MGUE) receivers. The MAPS will provide Army ground maneuver and strategic forces access to assured PNT information utilizing various sources of PNT data to address multiple threats and ensure mission success where Global Positioning System (GPS) may be limited or denied. The MAPS GEN II is comprised of two subsystems: a internally mounted navigation hub where data from sensors and receivers (to include M-code) are fused together to distribute an assured PNT solution to the platform and onboard client systems and an Anti-Jam antenna (AJAS) mounted externally on the platform to protect access to GPS and receive Alternative Navigation signals. The MAPS will enable critical Army Maneuver, Fires, Communications, Command (to include Blue Force Tracking), and Air Defense capabilities that are dependent on accurate position and timing data. The MAPS GEN II will be integrated into prioritized platforms in Armored, Stryker and Infantry Brigade Combat Teams and Key Strategic Units in order to conduct Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Base dollars in the amount of $46.677 Million support system engineering and management support, platform and client integration, and testing of the MAPS capability for 18 host platforms. Milestone Decision C / Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Decision and award of the production contract are critical events planned for 2nd Quarter (Q) FY 2022.
