The Embedded GPS/INS-Modernized (EGI-M) program represents Northrop Grumman’s advancements in delivering assured positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions to the U.S. military and allies. Designed to address the growing challenges of navigation in denied or degraded environments, EGI-M features a modular architecture that ensures operational flexibility, scalability, and superior navigation resilience across a range of platforms and missions.
EGI-M’s advanced capabilities include tightly integrated inertial navigation systems and next-generation GPS M-code receiver, offering robustness to jamming and spoofing. Complementing these technologies are innovative enhancements such as the integration of alternate PNT sources, precision timing in absence of GPS, Blended Navigation Assurance, and a Common Application Space (CAS) allowing 3rd party application development and hosting without Northrop Grumman’s involvement. Additional airworthiness compliance is accomplished through DO-178C, DO-254, and DO-229 lifecycle process adherence.
This technical briefing will provide an overview of Northrop Grumman’s EGI-M capabilities, discuss recent integration and qualification milestones and test results, and outline how integrators can enhance traditional EGI capabilities through an EGI-M centric ecosystem and future growth.
