JPO encourages development of next-generation GPS ECCM
Article Abstract:
The US Air Force's NAVSTAR Joint Program Office (JPO) is pursuing for technologies that would help advance the development of the satellite Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver Applications Module Selective Availability/Anti-Spoofing Module (GRASSM). Air Force Col Stephen Opel, program manager for GPS user equipment at the JPO, said that the security measures for the SAASM are already available, although the need to spur development to reduce risks for potential developers of GRASSM applications remains to be pursued. Development for the equipment is expected to be encouraged through the creation of a government-controlled interface control document (ICD) to establish a standard for the data flow and physical interfaces between the GRASSM and the host application equipment.

Jaycor receives $1 million for stand-off mine detection system
Article Abstract:
Jaycor of San Diego, CA, has received a contract from the US Army Communications and Electronics Command of Fort Monmouth, NJ, to create a standoff mine-detection radar system. The system produced via the $1-million deal will be integrated into the Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector. The new technology will scout for mines buried underground by as much as 8 inches and along the surface. Lockheed Martin Electronics and Missiles Division of Orlando, FL, will be responsible for contributing an advanced infrared sensor. Sanders of Lockheed Martin Company will supply the mission control computer. Jaycor will rely on commercial off-the-shelf parts to produce a ground-penetrating radar for the system.
