“This contract will ensure the availability of M-Code module inventory to build advanced, next-generation GPS receivers.”

On behalf of the DLA, BAE Systems will manufacture the modules and manage their inventory.

The company will use the modules to build military-grade GPS receivers for ground and precision-guided munitions.

BAE Systems’ suite of M-Code GPS receivers offer ‘flexible, efficient, and reliable navigation and guidance solutions’.

The M-Code GPS receivers will be used for airborne systems, precision munitions, handheld receivers, and embedded applications.

BAE noted that its Miniature Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver Engine – M-Code (MPE-M) and the NavStrike-M GPS receiver are both available in the market for precision-guided munitions.

The company claims that its MPE-M is the smallest M-Code solution available in the market.

Furthermore, other receivers from the company’s military GPS suite are in development for M-Code conversion.
