Description
Mission — PNT Resiliency, Mods, and Improvements
PE 0604201F, Project 641030 covers the research, development, qualification, and testing of Enhanced Anti-Jam (EAJ) Military Code (M-Code) Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers for Air Force and joint weapon systems. This includes updates to weapon mission planning software to support new M-Code and EAJ receiver development. These acquisitions will enable the Air Force to increase its operational Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) resiliency while satisfying the DoD and civil mandates. Fielding of EAJ M-Code weapons requires research, development, qualification and testing of M-Code receivers across the Air Force Program Executive Officer (AFPEO) Weapons portfolio. Funds may be used to address emerging and short notice Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY24 $0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY25 $0.00M is planned/forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
Mission — GPS Receiver Development
This munitions receiver development project includes development of a GPS M-code receiver with EAJ and analysis efforts. M-code receivers with EAJ provide advanced Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capabilities required for weapons to operate in adversarial Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environments. M-Code receivers with EAJ also provide increased accuracy, better signal acquisition, and advanced security. M-code receivers with EAJ capability assures continued weapon system precision and lethality. Fielding EAJ M-Code weapons requires research, development, qualification, testing, and mission planning of M-Code receivers across the weapons portfolio. This will include all systems, subsystems, software, fuzing, and support activities associated with the development and implementation of M-Code receivers.
Mission — GPS Receiver Development
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions are critical to offensive and defensive operations, enabling delivery of precision fires, safe aerial navigation, and time coordination across multiple platforms and subsystems. PNT must be maintained in the face of emerging and continuously evolving adversarial electronic and cyber threats, requiring increased system resiliency and rapid adaptability. Evolving threats will drive upgrades such as Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver modernization, development of standard navigational system formats/interfaces, increased use of open system architecture design principles, incorporation of alternative navigation sources into navigational solutions, advanced anti-jam antennas, antenna electronics, radio frequency monitoring/locating/reporting capabilities, and precision clock improvements to maintain current and future force capabilities. Project 651030 includes Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (INS) Modernized (EGI-M), Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver 2000 Modernization (MAGR-2K-M), Resilient GPS (R-EGI) development, PNT Software Defined User Equipment (PNT SDUE), anti-jam antenna/antenna electronics development, situational awareness devices, and other advanced/non-GPS PNT solutions. Activities also include, but are not limited to, current program planning, rapid prototyping/advanced technology and concept development, execution, and future program planning and support to other GPS enabled systems as required, covered within Budget Activities 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5. The PNT Resiliency, Mods, and Improvements (RMI) effort provides rapidly re-programmable application space for Alternate Satellite Navigation Systems User Equipment (UE), enabling agile and resilient response to GPS threat environments. Funds may be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortage (DMSMS) issues. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, or 0605898F. In FY2024 5.122M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, in FY2024 6.001M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY25, 10.899M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. The FY 2026 cost of Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort PNT is reflected in the budget request, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The Department will certify Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) funding in a future budget submission. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (6)
M-Code EAJ
M-Code/EAJ receivers provide an enhanced anti-jam capability. M-Code/EAJ receivers provide the capability to operate in increasing adversarial A2/AD jamming environment. M-Code/EAJ receivers also provide increased accuracy, better signal acquisition, and advanced security.
Embedded GPS/INS - Modernized (EGI-M)
EGI-M is a combined INS/GPS aircraft position, navigation, and timing system. The program upgrades the legacy EGI design to enhance resiliency against existing and emerging adversarial navigational warfare threats. Design features, such as interface standardization and software modularity to incorporate alternative navigation and timing sources, aim to reduce DoD cost and timelines to respond to newly identified threats and enhance current force capabilities. EGI-M incorporates M-Code and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out compliance capability into EGI receivers while addressing parts obsolescence, reducing configuration count from 260+ to a desired end-state of 16, and decreasing production and sustainment costs. The Northrop Grumman is now the sole prime contractor for EGI-M. The Air Force did not extend Honeywell's contract due to underperformance.
Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver 2000 - Modernization (MAGR-2K-M)
MAGR-2K-M is an aircraft GPS receiver. The program increases MAGR-2K legacy resiliency against existing and emerging adversarial navigational warfare threats while reducing cost and timelines to incorporate future capabilities in response to emerging threats. MAGR-2K-M incorporates M-Code capability into MAGR-2K legacy receivers while addressing parts obsolescence and providing a pathway to ADS-B Out implementation. Military code (M-code) was designed to further improve the anti-jamming capabilities and secure access of the military GPS signals. Since M-code is transmitted in frequencies already in use by previous military codes, a modernized GPS will deliver improved capability to counter current and emerging PNT threats and enable military operations in a Navigation Warfare environment where current legacy receiver performance would be compromised.
PNT Resiliency, Mods, and Improvements (RMI)
Conduct studies and analysis of PNT systems and requirements, develop and evaluate alternative courses of action, identify, plan and conduct PNT technology transition projects, conduct prototype and acquisition program planning, and provide recommended solutions to DoD and Air Force decision makers relative to navigation warfare threat evolution and technology emergence. This includes work for more flexible Secure Software Defined Receiver User Equipment to include, but not limited to, developing an associated antenna electronics capability to capture other than GPS signals like Multi-Global Navigation Satellite Systems to include Navigation Technology Satellite-III and other commercial solutions. PNT resiliency and modernization is dependent upon continuous improvements to the PNT enterprise which includes, but is not limited to, operationalizing Military GPS User Equipment Increment 2 (MGUE Inc 2) and Regional Military Protection (RMP) capabilities.
Resilient EGI (R-EGI)
Establishes a Government Reference Architecture (GRA) embodying modular open systems architecture (MOSA), enabling and accelerating the transition and operational insertion of future resilient PNT DoD capabilities. R-EGI delivers improved PNT resiliency through the rapid design, development, test, and transition of science and technology efforts to operational PNT systems. R-EGI enables the design and development of various aircraft PNT Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) that are rapidly upgradeable to counter evolving adversarial threats; the program demonstrates the GRA through prototyping of an open R-EGI LRU. The program matures, prototypes, and tests PNT technologies/systems and enables transition paths to flow new technologies into the R-EGI LRU and iterate as required to support the warfighter.
Positioning Navigation Timing Software Defined User Equipment (PNT SDUE)
PNT SDUE will develop a Satellite Navigation (SATNAV) Software Defined Receiver (SSDR) hosted on a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) delivering an M-Code receiver with agile reprogramming capability to provide robust, resilient PNT against navigational warfare (NAVWAR) and cyber threats utilizing a government owned technical baseline. The program will also develop Software Defined Antenna Electronics (SDAE) utilizing COTS FPGA equipment to support the ingest of new satellite signals/capabilities, signal processing, and the incorporation of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capability in a software reprogrammable environment. The GNSS receiver and antenna electronics will interface directly with R-EGI via modular open standard architecture. This program will transition and field advanced User Equipment capabilities for the Navigation Technology Satellite (NTS)-3 Air Force Vanguard effort.
