BAE Systems has started manufacturing and delivering its portable, field-installable NavGuide M-Code GPS receiver.
NavGuide uses M-Code GPS signals to enhance protection from jamming and spoofing, while offering reliable PNT in difficult environments.
BAE Systems has started manufacturing and delivering its portable, field-installable NavGuide M-Code GPS receiver.
The device offers secure positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) data for vehicles, handheld units, and sensors, according to the company.
NavGuide is an upgrade to the Defence Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR), which BAE Systems discontinued after more than two decades in service.
The new receiver uses the M-Code GPS signal to improve resistance to jamming and spoofing, aiming to provide consistent PNT performance in demanding conditions.
Its features include a compact design and a colour display with waypoint navigation and a moving map for improved situational awareness.
NavGuide is claimed to be compatible with existing DAGR installations, allowing integration into current mounts and accessories without changes to operational routines.
BAE Systems reports that installation on vehicle platforms typically takes less than two minutes.
The company has integrated NavGuide on more than 30 vehicle types, maintaining use of existing cables, mounts, and software. This approach enables users to adopt M-Code capabilities without extensive downtime for integration.
Support for legacy DAGR units will continue, said BAE Systems.
The new device is available to all branches of the US armed forces as well as authorised international users through foreign military sales.
BAE Systems navigation and sensor systems director Luke Bishop said: “NavGuide is more than just a replacement for DAGR. Built on the same trusted foundation for easy installation and transition, it delivers a more resilient, user-friendly M-Code GPS solution.
“Now in production, NavGuide gives warfighters the precise positioning data and situational-awareness tools they need to stay effective in modern, contested, multi-domain operations.”
BAE Systems has fielded over 650,000 units of the DAGR internationally since 2004. The manufacturer has delivered selective availability anti-spoofing modules to users in more than 45 countries and is now providing M-Code GPS receivers to US armed forces and allied nations in multiple formats.
Work on military GPS products, including NavGuide, takes place at BAE Systems’ facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
