BAE Systems entered production for NavGuide, a portable, field-installable GPS receiver, and began initial deliveries. The company said the change supports secure positioning, navigation, and timing for vehicle, handheld, and sensor applications while transitioning from its legacy Defense Advanced GPS Receiver.

NavGuide is described as a drop-in M-Code upgrade to the Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR), which concluded production after more than 20 years in the field. The receiver was also presented as backward compatible with existing DAGR installations and designed for rapid integration into existing DAGR mounts and accessories without mission interruption.

NavGuide uses an M-Code GPS signal and is described as providing protection against jamming and spoofing threats while delivering positioning and navigation in harsh environments. The receiver is described as compact and lightweight, with a full-color user interface that includes waypoint navigation and a moving-map display.

BAE Systems said it integrated NavGuide on over 30 existing vehicle platforms with an average installation time of under two minutes, with no changes required to existing cables, mounts, or vehicle software. The company said it will continue to support legacy DAGR units, and that its work on military GPS products occurs at its Cedar Rapids, Iowa, engineering and manufacturing facility. “NavGuide is more than just a replacement for DAGR,” said Luke Bishop, director of Navigation and Sensor Systems at BAE Systems. “Built on the same trusted foundation for easy installation and transition, it delivers a more resilient, user-friendly M-Code GPS solution. Now in production, NavGuide gives warfighters the precise positioning data and situational-awareness tools they need to stay effective in modern, contested, multi-domain operations.”

BAE Systems said NavGuide is available to U.S. armed forces and allies via foreign military sales, and that it has delivered selective-availability anti-spoofing modules to more than 45 countries while fielding M-Code GPS receivers in various form factors and capability levels.
