Satellite GPS Receivers
Providing Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to U.S. military and civilian customers for almost 30 years
Our high-reliability, space-hardened global positioning system (GPS) receivers have delivered more than 140 on-orbit years of service beginning with the Monarch family of GPS receivers. Today, our GPS receivers deliver the most advanced M-code technology for Precise Positioning Service position, velocity, and time information for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) applications.
Sentinel M-Code Receiver
General Dynamics’ Sentinel™ M-Code GPS Receiver provides Precise Positioning Service position, velocity, and time information for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) applications. Performance and satellite visibility are enhanced through the use of dual antennas; each of the 64 GPS channels can be assigned to either antenna.
The Next Generation of Secure Position, Navigation and Timing Technology Whitepaper
The Department of Defense is now focused on satisfying the need to provide assured position, navigation and timing (PNT) – or assured PNT – and General Dynamics is answering that call by developing new antenna designs, power amplifiers, receivers, waveform generators, and related capabilities that are more resilient to threats.
