GPS devices for remote, contested environments get test with U.S. Army
NewsOctober 14, 2021
WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. U.S. Army soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division tested the Army’s next-generation assured positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) equipment recently; the Mounted Assured Position Navigation and Timing (MAPS) system enables soldiers to maintain integrity of position and timing in GPS-contested environments.
MAPS -- designed to support command and control by replacing the need for multiple GPS devices on a single platform and also intended to thwart electronic warfare (EW) attacks with an onboard anti-EW antenna -- is set to integrate across the Army’s wheeled and tracked platforms.
