MAPS GEN I APNT System

The U.S. Army's First Fielded APNT System

The Mounted Assured PNT System (MAPS) GEN I is an Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (APNT) system that has been fielded and monitors GPS signals for validity and sends the validated data to military devices, even when GPS signals are degraded or denied.

About MAPS GEN I

Built by GPS Source, a subsidiary of General Dynamics Mission Systems, MAPS GEN I is a mobile modular system that monitors GPS signals for validity and sends the validated data to military devices.

This system has been in rapid development, production, and fielding since the recognition of the need to protect GPS signals against peer and near-peer adversaries.

It is being fielded throughout the Army’s combat formation to enable warfighters to conduct mobile operations in a GPS-contested environment.

Fielded Worldwide

The Army initially fielded the MAPS GEN I system in the fall of 2019, making it the first APNT solution to be operationally deployed.

The Army deployed 62 systems and several systems engineers to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany for installation and testing.

Based on successful installation and performance of these systems during field testing by the Army, the Army’s Project Manager Positioning, Navigation, and Timing ordered the first 2,000 units for operational deployment.

These systems have been installed on ground combat vehicles around the world.
