Collins Aerospace has more than 40 years of experience outfitting military air, land, sea and weapons platforms with advanced GPS antenna and receiver technology – ensuring mission success in all environments.
Our family of receivers and antennas extend GPS capabilities by enhancing control over time and leveraging position and navigation in innovative ways.
Collins Aerospace has delivered the GPS and anti-jam products for 5th Generation Joint Strike Fighter/F-35 since the platform entered development and operations 20 years ago. Collins’ solution has provided the highest performance in the market, enabling critical missions while ensuring platform and operator safety. Collins has achieved the highest marks for on-time delivery, enabling consistent and predictable delivery of the critical Joint Strike Fighter platform. Additionally, the product has achieved remarkably low need for maintenance and repairs, delivering results that endure.
As the sole provider of M-code ASICs, GPS Receivers and PNT line replaceable units for next generation GPS avionics platforms, Collins directly supports and enables advanced targeting capabilities in diverse and challenging environments. With our extensive experience in outfitting military platforms, the integration of M-Code technology into the avionics platforms ensures that the aircraft can leverage precise navigation and positioning data even in contested airspaces, ultimately contributing to a higher likelihood of mission success. Our "economically-retrofittable" advanced receivers and antennas facilitate seamless integration of M-Code, ensuring U.S. avionics platforms remains a leading edge in modern warfare
Products and capabilities
The MAGR2K brings M-Code GPS capability to maritime and avionics platforms, including the F/A-18, MV-22, CV-22 and MH-53E. The MAGR2K enhances GPS acquisition and performance and provides all-in-view GPS satellite tracking and GPS integrity. The open architecture and modular design allows for easy upgrades. We’ve delivered over 3,000 units to 20 different platforms to the U.S. Air Force, Navy and international partners.
Able to stand alone or be integrated into a GPS receiver, our anti-jam technology secures GPS signals in dense electromagnetic environments and additionally rejects spoofed GPS signals. It is suitable for commercial, Y-Code, M-Code and alternative navigation products. Anti-jam capabilities are flexible in size, range and performance, allowing them to be optimized for any system, including weapons, avionics and ground systems.
Collins offers a range of alternative signal solutions to enable reliable navigation in highly contested and GPS-denied environments. We use machine-learning advancements and enhanced algorithms to tighten up GPS signals.
Our networked system-of-systems approach improves sensor-to-shooter capacity. We employ advanced methods that rely on precise time to help warfighters control the battle and successfully complete their missions.
