The technology will be mounted into a variety of armored platforms, including Abrams tanks, Paladin artillery and Bradley Fighting Vehicles, as well as lighter options, such as Strykers and Humvees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second iteration is a step up from its predecessor, GEN I, which has been deployed in Europe. The Army outfitted Strykers belonging to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany with MAPS GEN I in 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2020\/10\/07\/collins-aerospace-to-build-gps-jamming-solution-for-the-army\/\" target=\"_blank\">C4ISRNET previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMAPS ensures access to modernized military GPS and fuses additional sources of PNT to include timing and alternate navigation technologies,\u201d Lt. Col. Andrew Johnston, a product manager at PEO IEW&amp;S, said in a statement Thursday. \u201cAssured PNT is a critical enabling capability to multi-domain operations and Army 2030, setting conditions for soldiers to fight and win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/electronic-warfare\/2022\/08\/15\/air-force-may-put-angry-kitten-in-planes-for-electronic-warfare-edge\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Angry-Kitten.jpeg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Air Force may put Angry Kitten in planes for electronic warfare edge<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Despite the inoffensive name \u2014 a far cry from Reaper or Predator drones or Hellfire missiles \u2014 the electronic warfare system can bare its claws.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following decades of counterterrorism operations in the Middle East, facing forces with less-advanced equipment, the Department of Defense is now preparing for a potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2022\/08\/17\/senators-look-past-europe-push-pentagon-jadc2-vision-for-indo-pacific\/\" target=\"_blank\">large-scale conflict with China<\/a> and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fights with either world power would likely involve electronic interference and other digital belligerence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow we\u2019re starting to enter theaters and operations where GPS signals can be denied, degraded, interfered with, right? Because of that, we needed to come up with a solution to get around the issue. MAPS helps answer that problem,\u201d Maj. Matthew Szarzynski, an assistant project manager at PEO IEW&amp;S, said Aug. 30 during a media roundtable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2022\/09\/01\/army-electronic-warfare-office-seeks-to-adapt-now-for-future-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\">at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re still getting that GPS signal, that positioning, navigation, timing solution. But now it\u2019s more protected. It\u2019s protected from any kind of jamming. It\u2019s protected from any kind of spoofing. So soldiers in the field, with this on their platform, know exactly where they\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity arrangement with Collins Aerospace is expected to run for five years. IDIQ contracts provide for a number of products or services over the course of a predetermined timeframe. They are frequently used by the federal government and are thought to streamline the procurement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The award this week follows a previous 2020 deal in which Collins Aerospace was tasked with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2020\/09\/14\/army-to-award-contract-for-gps-alternative-by-end-of-september\/\" target=\"_blank\">MAPS maturation and preliminary integration<\/a>, clearing a path for low-rate initial production.
