Navigation Warfare Electronic Support (ES) Technology Development and Miniaturization

The objective of this SBIR program is to develop an integrated NAVWAR ES/EP system for use in future generations of SWAP-C (size, weight, power and cost) constrained weapon systems. Mayflower proposes to leverage its expertise in developing SWAP-C optimized GPS Receiver and Anti-Jam systems and in developing ASICs to meet the program objective. Mayflower’s focus in the Phase I program is to focus on the feasibility analyses of the ES (Electronic Support) technology using an innovative technique for jammer detection and geo-location, that can interface with EP (Electronic Protection) and EA (Electronic Attack) components seamlessly. In Phase II Mayflower will demonstrate the technology on an FPGA-based prototype platform. An ASIC integrating all the components of NAVWAR ES/EP will be developed in Phase III program. BENEFIT: The proposed technology development will result in highly SWAP-C optimized NAVWAR system that can be deployed in the future weapon systems and small UAVs. The commercial GPS users (namely, airlines) will also benefit from this technology development.
