MOUNTED

Abstract

The Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing System (MAPS) meets congressional (10 USC 2281) and Department of Defense guidance to provide resilient, survivable, M-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) capable Ground User Equipment (MGUE) receivers. The MAPS will deliver systems that provide the Army's combat forces access to assured PNT information under conditions where space-based GPS may be limited or denied to enable Army forces the ability to move, shoot, communicate, and provide situational awareness. 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. The MAPS will provide PNT when GPS is degraded or denied through military code (M-code) GPS, Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) signals, timing, sensor fusion, anti-jam antenna, and beam steering. This capability will deliver distributed assured PNT capabilities to Armored Stryker and Infantry Brigade Combat Team platforms in an iterative and affordable manner that allows for future modernization. Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Base dollars in the amount of $15.728 Million support MAPS system engineering and management support, production qualification and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation in preparation for Full Rate Production.
