Military GPS Integration and Solutions - M-Code, SAASM, & L2
As GPS threats continue to develop technology, the security of the GPS network remains a high priority. As GPS is heavily utilized throughout high-precision operations, general navigation, and situational awareness, trusted location information is vital. A brief overview of the GPS signal enhancements encompasses encryption, anti-jamming features, and dual signal validation.
A quick review of military GPS features includes:
M-Code: Initially launched in 2005, to enhance availability, security, and anti-jamming capabilities.
SAASM: An enhanced GPS security architecture designed to provide over-the-air rekeying of GPS receivers in order to encrypt and decrypt the GPS signal.
Ground Station: The Air Force upgraded the GPS Control Segment to AEP Version 5.6 on January 2011 which initially enabled SAASM features to provide rekeying features over the air.
