Smartphone with SAASM GPS Receiver (SmartSAASM)

This proposal is fully responsive to the Army PEO IEWS SBIR solicitation"s objective to develop and demonstrate advanced connectivity and control technologies to provide a miniature Selective-Availability Anti-Spoofing (SAASM) based Global Positioning System (GPS) capability to a Handheld device (commercial Smartphone) as an expandable module. Mayflower proposes to develop and demonstrate an innovative system architecture to provide SAASM GPS receiver-based secure navigation capability to a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) smartphone by leveraging its state-of-the-art micro-SAASM GPS receiver technology in a very small SWaP-C (size, weight and power, and cost) package for use in Soldier Handheld device applications. The proposed system encompasses two modules. The first module - a hardware module - referred to as SmartSAASM consists of a SAASM GPS receiver, batteries and a communication interface packaged in a small body-wearable form factor. The second module a software module - is an App along with few other software submodules running on a smartphone facilitates user interaction with the SmartSAASM module.
