MOUNTED ASSURED POSITIONING, NAVIGATION, AND TIMING (PNT) SYSTEM (MAPS)

Description

MAPS Program of Record is a platform-mounted, ruggedized tactical PNT system giving Army forces the ability to move, shoot, communicate, and providing situational awareness in space-based GPS limited or denied environments. It distributes PNT data to multiple clients (e.g., Blue Force Tracking) on a single platform, eliminating redundant GPS receivers and antennas. MAPS consists of a receiver, an anti-jam antenna, and associated installation kit components.

Benefit to the Soldier

Provides GPS anti-spoofing and anti-jamming capability through sensor fusion algorithms and non-Radio Frequency (RF) sensors to distribute trusted PNT data, allowing Mounted Soldiers to operate where military GPS is denied or degraded.
