US Army deploys jam-resistant GPS to Europe

摘要

The US Army has installed 62 Mounted Assured Precision Navigation & Timing System (MAPS) anti-jam GPS devices in Stryker Light Armored Vehicles in Germany, the US Army News Service reported on 7 October. More than 300 Strykers from the 2nd Cavalry Regiment will be fitted this year with MAPS, which pairs a GPS receiver with an anti-jam antenna, the report states. The system is designed to continue operating when a GPS signal is weakened or compromised, said Colonel Nickolas Kioutas, the army's positioning, navigation, and timing programme manager.
