his achievement is part of the Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) Increment 2 Miniature Serial Interface (MSI) initiative, which is funded by a $247 million contract from the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command awarded to BAE Systems in 2020.
"This development milestone validates that we have the core of our next-generation GNSS user equipment technology in place," said Luke Bishop, director of Navigation and Sensor Systems at BAE Systems. "This capability is foundational to powering future generations of assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) products for the U.S. and its allies."
Increment 2 introduces major advancements in signal processing capabilities, supporting enhanced functionality for additional satellite networks. Designed for compact applications, the small form factor receiver is intended for systems with strict requirements on size, weight, and power. This feature supports broader integration across various platforms, such as portable, battery-operated receivers.
Building on the adaptability of BAE Systems' existing Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) and M-Code Increment 1 products, Increment 2 offers additional resilience against threats with features like field reprogramming and flexible software configurations tailored to mission demands.
BAE Systems' comprehensive lineup of M-Code GPS and anti-jam solutions continues to provide robust, adaptable navigation and guidance systems for applications including airborne platforms, precision munitions, handheld devices, and embedded technologies.
The development of the Increment 2 MSI program is based at BAE Systems' advanced facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where the team is pioneering the next level of GNSS technology for future capabilities.
