BAE Systems is engaged in the preparation of military personnel for the utilisation of M-Code

NavStorm-M is a new GPS receiver from BAE Systems that features M-Code, designed to provide greater resistance to spoofing and jamming, which is particularly important on the modern battlefield M-Code (Military Code) is a new type of GPS signal designed for military use to improve the security and accuracy of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT). Described as the next generation of reliable positioning, navigation and timing (A-PNT) equipment, NavStorm-M employs a layered protection approach of beamforming, anti-spoofing, resilience and software assurance to improve performance and security.

In addition to BAE Systems' NavStorm-M, there are other companies in the market that offer advanced GPS solutions. one such company is Septentrio, which offers the Septentrio Mosaic GNSS Module, a high-performance GPS/GNSS receiver that supports multi-band, multi-constellation satellite signals and is future-proofed for future signals and services. The Mosaic GNSS module features unique AIM+ technology for interference monitoring and mitigation and anti-spoofing, ensuring optimal availability, reliability and accuracy.

The compact design of the NavStorm-M makes it suitable for applications such as artillery, missiles and unmanned systems. Not only does it provide accurate GPS navigation, but it can also be integrated with inertial navigation systems (INS) to meet the weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) requirements of weapons such as UAVs, cruise munitions, hypersonic platforms and more.

BAE Systems offers a wide range of M-Code capable receivers, such as the SABR-M, which have been proven to withstand spoofing and jamming in a variety of test scenarios.
In addition, the company continues to offer receivers with selective M-Code capability. In addition, receivers with Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) functionality are still being offered to meet current requirements, and the SAASM system allows for over-the-air re-keying, satellite authentication and emergency recovery, as well as the ability to be updated via encrypted ‘black keys’, which adds to the security and reliability of the system.
This increases the security and reliability of the system.

The launch of NavStorm-M was announced at the ION Joint Navigation Conference (JNC), a conference focused on technological advances, specifically on the joint development, testing and support of affordable PNT systems, logistics and integration.
The JNC conference focused on GPS applications on the battlefield, advantages and disadvantages of navigation devices, warfighter PNT requirements and solutions, and navigation warfare related topics.

BAE Systems' NavStorm-M receiver demonstrates the company's in-depth research and innovation in PNT technology and its commitment to improving the ability of military warfighters to navigate in complex environments. Through these technologies, BAE Systems aims to ensure that warfighters have access to critical PNT information even when GPS signals are jammed or spoofed.

Meanwhile, Septentrio  Mosaic GNSS module offers similar advanced features such as superior interference immunity and centimetre-level positioning performance in challenging environments, making it ideal for applications such as drones, robotics, autonomous systems, construction and agriculture.
The modules are designed to be easy to evaluate and can be easily integrated into systems via COM ports, USB 2.0, SD memory cards and other connectivity options.
