0604778A Positioning Systems Development (SPACE)

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: Project D168 provides for Army participation in the research and development phases of Army weapon systems requiring positioning/navigational capabilities. It provides for the engineering development of several alternatives for integration of GPS receivers into selected systems. These alternatives include, but are not limited to, Embedded/Integrated GPS, Advanced GPS Receivers (AGR), Tactical GPS Anti-Jam Technology (TGAT) and Differential GPS. The project in this program element supports research efforts in the engineering and manufacturing development phases of the acquisition strategy and are therefore correctly placed in Budget Activity 5.

Acquisition Strategy: Perform studies and analyses of host vehicles to support development of alternative GPS applications.

FY 1996 Accomplishments:

	163	Procured and tested items in the marketplace to remain current with NDI alternatives (to include embedding)
	161	Advanced GPS receiver framework conceptualization (non-hardware work)to meet evolving user requirements.
	112	Air receiver exploration for MAGR follow-on replacement
Total	436

FY 1997 Planned Program:

	111	Improve accuracy and time to fix studies for follow-on equipment requirements
	150	Test program for NDI aviation GPS receiver (MAGR follow-on/replacement)
	156	Improve survivability of GPS capability (renewed anti-jam/anti-spoof and other threats response)
	11	Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer(SBIR/STTR)
Total	428

FY 1998 Planned Program:

	120	Continue improving accuracy and time to fix studies
	134	Continue survivability studies
	165	Explore emerging capabilities based on follow-on satellite configuration options
Total	419

FY 1999 Planned Program:

	200	Continue exploration of emerging capabilities
	109	Support miniaturization studies
	100	Conduct studies on interfacing GPS with other systems
Total	409
