Collins Aerospace to Build New Jam-Resistant Navigation Systems for U.S. Military Vehicles
New system protects U.S. Army and Marine Corps vehicles from GPS jamming and spoofing.
Collins Aerospace has received approval to begin full rate production of the Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (MAPS) Generation II system for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps.
The MAPS Gen II system provides jam-and-spoof-resistant navigation for crewed and uncrewed combat ground vehicles, including military watercraft. The system integrates satellite navigation data with other sensors to deliver secure positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information.
The approval follows the fifth delivery order for the system, which will result in the production of thousands of units. These will be installed on a range of military platforms supporting combat, artillery fires, air and missile defense, ship-to-shore operations, and contested logistics.
MAPS Gen II consists of the NavHub-100 navigation system and the Multi-Sensor Antenna System (MSAS-100). Collins Aerospace also offers scalable configurations of these components to meet various mission needs.
