Mayflower was awarded a Phase III SGUE (Small GPS User Equipment) contract with the U.S.\u00a0Air Force Research Laboratory sponsored by the Space and Missile Systems Center\/GPS Directorate (SMC\/GPSD).<\/p>\n
Under the contract, the company\u00a0will develop a small SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) security certifiable Common GPS Module (CGM).<\/p>\n
Mayflowers\u2019 small SWaP GPS receiver technology will allow the Department of Defense (DoD) and its\u00a0agencies to benefit from increased competition, enhanced capability and reduction in overall program costs to DoD program managers and prime contractors in upgrading their navigation systems to the modernized M-code receiver.<\/p>\n
Mayflower\u2019s SGUE program is aimed at the development of advanced GPS receiver technology to support future military GPS requirements. \u00a0The goal of the program is to develop a NAVWAR (Navigation Warfare) compatible CGM form factor that will support SWaP-constrained military users.<\/p>\n
The SGUE CGM development effort will expand Mayflower\u2019s military GPS receiver product line to include modernized NavAssure-M product offerings so that current customers will have a form-fit-function upgrade path from SAASM to MGUE.<\/p>\n
\u201cMayflower is a leader in small SWaP and miniaturized military GPS receiver and anti-jam products,\u201d said Triveni Upadhyay, Mayflower\u00a0founder and CEO. \u201cI am confident in the quality and innovation expertise of our GPS engineering team to successfully develop the SGUE CGM.\u00a0The development of small SWaP MGUE form factors, enabled by SGUE CGM, will have a significant impact in the M-Code market, providing secure modernized GPS signals to the warfighters and lowering total ownership costs on many military programs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Air Force is very pleased to see innovative GPS technology developed under its SBIR Program to find commercialization opportunity in the MGUE market. Mayflower has performed well and we are confident of the SGUE program success,\u201d said Dana Howell, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) program manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe AFRL\/GPSD objective in the SGUE Program is to advance MGUE technology and make it affordable to the warfighter,\u201d said Eddy Emile, chief\u00a0of the\u00a0Advanced Technology and International Branch, GPS Directorate. \u201d<\/p>\n
The SGUE Program fits the need and will lower the cost to the user by increased competition enabled by the SGUE Program.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Mayflower, the NavAssure-M MGUE receiver form factors, focused toward small SWaP GPS receiver applications, will be backward compatible to SAASM, therefore, lowering the platform integration cost and total life-cycle cost.<\/p>\n
