EURONAV-a state of the art military GPS receiver

Two- and five-channel EURONAV GPS receivers for military applications are presented. Both types of receivers have a wide range of features in addition to providing the basic GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation functions. These receivers provide high performance, selective availability/antispoofing, and high antijam GPS capabilities. By the use of advanced technology components, it was possible to reduce the size of a five-channel GPS receiver from the GPS Phase II qualified three-fourths ATR long to three-eights ATR short, with a corresponding weight and power reduction. The author describes the EURONAV product specifications, the hardware, and the software design.<
