Abstract:	Rockwell Collins has produced a long line of military GPS products and that line is extending to new products with unique applications and higher performance. The new products provide more than navigation functions and the new levels of miniaturization enable this increased capability to be applied to a broader spectrum of vehicles. Rockwell Collins has maintained a low cost position with these products by use of common hardware and software components. Surface Mobility receivers offer dual frequency, All-in-View signal tracking with improved jamming resistance and greater battery life than the military standard Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR). Variations to the PLGR II handheld receiver manifest these basic capabilities in vehicle applications with the VPLGR II and in operational applications such as the Gun Laying System (GLS). Airborne receiver products offer the improved robustness and functionality necessary for National Airspace and weapon system applications. Signal acquisition times are greatly reduced and anti-spoofing and jamming resistance is improved. The GEM IV provides these new capabilities in another of the standard embedded GEM product family. GNP-24 is designed to be a stand alone high performance navigator or mate with a wide range of new technology inertial systems. A family of receivers is in development that are based on the Selective Availability / Anti-spoofing Module (SAASM). These meet the requirements of emerging security requirements and functions for military applications.
