Mayflower Communications Company<\/strong> said its submarine anti-jam GPS enhancement (SAGE) supports the U.S. Navy’s multifunction mast antenna System (OE-5388) upgrade to improve communications systems and navigation warfare (NAVWAR) requirements.<\/p>\n Mayflower SAGE is part of a contract that Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command awarded to Lockheed Martin Sippican and Granite Slate Manufacturing. SAGE, a variant of a small antenna system (SAS), was developed to support the Navy’s GPS anti-jam requirements for submarines in GPS-contested or denied NAVWAR environments, the company said.<\/p>\n SAGE, which is integrated into the OE-538B antenna by Lockheed Martin Sippican, features low size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements; multiple ports; GPS radio frequency output; and L1 and L2 outputs with adjustable power levels, the company said.<\/p>\n “The SAGE product has given Mayflower the opportunity to support a U.S. Navy national strategic-level platform and to expand into the next generation of small SWaP NAVWAR GPS anti-jam systems,” said Joseph Thomas, Mayflower director of government programs.<\/p>\n While SAGE, formally called the NavGuard 501, was developed for submarine antenna mast systems, the company said it can support GPS military-code (M-Code) anti-jam requirements on other military platforms. Because of its small size and low cost, Mayflower SAGE can work with ground combat and support systems; command and control nodes with network management responsibilities; and network timing dependent on GPS signals, the company said.<\/p>\n SAGE can work with multiple GPS devices from a single antenna and is course acquisition- (C\/A), selective availability anti-spoofing module- (SAASM) and M-Code-compatible, the company said.<\/p>\n The company said it is working with Lockheed Martin Sippican to complete SAGE integration and environmental qualifications.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.insidegnss.com\/node\/5184<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mayflower Communications Company said its submarine anti-jam GPS enhancement (SAGE) supports the U.S. Navy’s multifunction mast antenna System (OE-5388) upgrade to improve communications systems and navigation warfare (NAVWAR) requirements.
