BAE Systems unveils NavGuide GPS receiver

BAE Systems has unveiled NavGuide, a next-generation Assured-Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) device featuring M-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, as a field-installable replacement to the Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) designed for quick integration into current DAGR mounts and accessories without mission interruption.

NavGuide features a three-inch, full-colour graphical user interface for the dismounted soldier and easily integrates with existing mounted platforms and systems.

The device leverages the advanced M-Code GPS signal with enhanced jamming and spoofing protection. NavGuide is portable, versatile and precise and enables vehicular, handheld, sensor and gun laying applications to allow the military to defeat adversaries in a variety of challenging threat environments.

“The market demanded a cost effective and high performance system upgrade that was more intuitive to the user and could be easily integrated into platforms currently using DAGR. The result was NavGuide,” said Todd Peterson, Director of Engineering for Navigation & Sensor Systems at BAE Systems. “NavGuide also provides a moving map, situational awareness capabilities, nine-line targeting and meets key military environmental requirements.”
