The U.S. Space Force is allowing the loan of precise positioning service receiver cards for use in military GPS capability testing work in partner nations as part of a three-year multinational initiative established by USSF's Space and Missile Systems Center. Project Arrangement took effect when Canada co-signed the document in December and the Canadian government received the initial M-code PSS receivers last month, USSF said Thursday.

A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report has found that the Department of Defense (DOD) is yet to achieve widespread use of the “M-code” GPS technology due to limitations in satellite equipment to accommodate the jam-resistant capability. GAO said Tuesday that the DOD has seen delays in installing receiver equipment for satellites that will enable them to broadcast M-code signals.

The U.S. Space Force issued an operational acceptance certification for a military signal developed to equip warfighters with augmented anti-spoofing and anti-jamming capabilities. GPS Military-Code Early Use underwent a series of tests at master control stations at Vandenberg Air Force Base and Schriever AFB to achieve the certification, USSF said.

The U.S. Space Force has completed military-code (M-code) early use hardware and software updates to the government's GPS Operational Control System. M-Code is designed to optimize warfighters' anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capacities.

The Government Accountability Office has called on the Defense Department to designate an organization that will oversee the collection of test data, design platforms and lessons learned to facilitate coordination as DoD works to deploy new GPS receiver cards. GAO said in a report published Tuesday such an organization could help …

A Navy official has detailed the service branch’s plans for new positioning, navigation and timing platforms to counter threats posed by GPS jammers in an interview with C4ISR & Networks published Wednesday. Capt. Mark Glover, program manager for the Navy’s Communications and GPS Navigation Program Office, told the publication the Navy’s PMW/A-170 has …
