Navigation Systems

Abstract

The Navigation Systems product line consists of the software and hardware development, integration, test, and fielding necessary to ensure the F-22's ability to maintain Precision, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities, to include in Global Positioning System (GPS) degraded environments. As part of the F-22 Capability Pipeline, implemented through Section 804 Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) authority, this effort will include the integration of Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) Modernization (EGI-M) onto the F-22 for M-Code, replacement of the legacy GPS antenna with a robust Controlled Radiation Pattern Antenna (CRPA), as well as other capabilities, to prevent exploitation of the weapon system by adversaries and provide an anti-jam PNT solution. F-22 Navigation Systems is conducted using a rapid acquisition construct leveraging commercial best practices such as agile and lean. This allows the F-22 Raptor enterprise to develop, test, and field software/hardware from multiple programs (product lines) using a cadence approach as capabilities mature.
