BAE Systems’ MPE-M is a small, high-performance GPS receiver
providing assured Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) for
applications where size, weight, and power are all critical
factors, including handheld devices, ground vehicles, and unmanned
aerial systems.
“Germany is the first country to receive M-Code GPS capabilities
via FMS, leading the way among our allies,” said Greg Wild,
director of Navigation and Sensor Systems at BAE Systems.
“Accelerating the delivery of M-Code capabilities to allied
warfighters around the globe is critical to ensuring trusted PNT in
the face of modern threats from our adversaries.”
MPE-M acquires signals rapidly, and is compatible with the
advanced military M-Code GPS signal, which is hardened against
signal jamming and spoofing and provides next-generation
cryptography for improved security. The receiver has the same form
factor as its predecessor, accelerating and simplifying the M-Code
upgrade process for existing military GPS user equipment and
accommodating future growth and changes in GPS operational
needs.
Work on BAE Systems’ military GPS products is conducted in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, where the company is building a modern engineering
and production facility. The company’s Navigation and Sensor
Systems business has delivered thousands of M-Code GPS receivers to
the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S.-based systems integrators,
and more than 1.5 million GPS devices globally.
