M-Code Hosted Payload

Abstract

The initial studies will explore size, weight, and power (SWAP) requirements of potential payloads, the level of broadcast power as received on the ground, the needed modifications that will allow current and future GPS ground control systems to communicate with these payloads, and how best to upgrade GPS user equipment with minimal impact on cost and downtime to existing GPS users. The current program under investigation has both a challenging SWAP requirement and launch schedule, requiring immediate action by the US if it is to deliver a payload in time for integration into the host vehicles.
