LOS ANGELES AFB, Calif. 8 May 2015. Satellite navigation (click here) experts at L-3 Interstate Electronics Corp. (IEC) in Anaheim, Calif., are speeding their work on developing anti-jam Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers with special M-code GPS capability for military operations.
Officials of the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif., announced an $18.2 million contract modification to L-3 IEC Wednesday as part of the Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) program.
The deal calls for L-3 IEC to accelerate the MGUE program by providing additional pre-prototype receiver cards and test support to speed the fielding of M-Code capable GPS receivers to the warfighter, Air Force officials say....
This is outrageous. You mean to tell the American electorate their military gets so hopelessly lost in the real world it has to be tracked by GPS that will compromise their security. This is someone's idea of government spending that goes beyond the security of the country. This program needs to be scrapped.
The ONLY reason to install this on any military vehicle is because it doesn't have a driver. These computer expenditures are not the way to go. If the USA military can track and control their vehicles, so can the enemy.
