That signal is called M-code, or military code. But for weapon systems &#8211; which includes ships, aircraft, ground vehicles, missiles, munitions, and hand-held devices \u2015 to take advantage of those capabilities they need updated GPS equipment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increase was also due to a revised estimate to reflect department-wide funding adjustments, the report said.
