L-3 IEC delivers prototype GB-GRAM-M receivers
L-3 Interstate Electronics Corporation (IEC) announced today the delivery of 31 prototype Ground-Based GPS Receiver Application Module Modernized (GB-GRAM-M) receivers designed and developed under the Modernized User Equipment (MUE) Receiver Card Development Program. These receivers demonstrate all of the critical technologies needed to incorporate a new Military-Code (M-Code) signal and a common GPS module security architecture for enhanced integrity with improved anti-jam and anti-spoof capabilities.
The L-3 GB-GRAM-M receivers process Precise Code, Course/Acquisition-Code and M-Code signals. The delivery of GB-GRAM-M receivers completes L-3's formal qualification testing and supports the government's developmental test phase.
"This is a significant advancement in critical GPS technology, providing the warfighter with a higher level of security," said Ric Pozo, vice president and general manager of navigation systems for L-3 Interstate Electronics Corporation. "Military GPS receivers continue to be a critical tool in-theater. L-3 IEC is proud to be a key supplier of this important capability and continues to provide innovative military GPS solutions."
In addition, L-3 IEC has successfully conducted live satellite signal tracking of SVN 62, the first GPS IIF satellite. The live tracking of true M-Code signals and recent card deliveries represent a significant milestone in the GPS MUE Receiver Card Development Program, which will bring the next generation of GPS technology to military users.
