The United States Marine Corps requires resilient, reliable, and secure PNT capabilities that enables effective maneuver warfare and expeditionary operations in Global Positioning System (GPS) denied and Electromagnetic Warfare contested environments. The current reliance on GPS as the primary PNT source creates unacceptable operational risks, necessitating the acquisition and integration of new Military (M)-Code capable GPS receivers, and alternative/complementary PNT solutions to ensure continued mission accomplishment in degraded or denied environments.
