Abstract
The US Department of Defense is in the process of upgrading and improving Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) equipment. Major programs like Modernized GPS (M-Code), and an Assured PNT Program of Record (among others) will allow US forces unhindered access to trusted PNT in all environments.
GPS Source, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Dynamics Mission Systems and an industry leader in Assured PNT, is the prime contractor for the US Army’s M-Code integration effort. In addition, our equipment has been selected and is being fielded to select U.S. and International forces.
GPS Source has a unique perspective to the challenges of implementing Assured PNT in military environments, and will be updating attendees on technology improvements to the hardware (including compatibility with GVA).
