Air Force to speed M-Code GPS receivers to warfighters

摘要

Satellite navigation experts at L-3 Interstate Electronics Corp. (IEC) in Anaheim, Calif., are developing anti-jam Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers with special M-code GPS capability for military operations. Officials of the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif., announced an $18.2 million contract modification to L-3 IEC as part of the Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) program. The deal calls for L-3 IEC to accelerate the MGUE program by providing additional pre-prototype receiver cards and test support to speed the fielding of M-Code capable GPS receivers.
