Low Cost, Low Power, Integrated Full Anti-Jam SAASM GPS Receiver with Up-Finding Capability and M-Code Compatibility for Gun Launched Projectiles

The overall objective of this Mayflower SBIR Phase II proposal is to further develop the advanced SAASM Receiver Architecture as developed and analyzed in the Phase I program, by completing the initial implementation of the architecture in an advanced FPGA prototyping platform, whereby the hardware and software can be integrated and tested in a relevant environment which is a spinning projectile operating in the presence of jamming. Additional objectives of this program include maturing the gun hard packaging concept and to establish plans for silicon development in a follow on Phase II.5/Phase III program. The long term objective of the program beyond Phase II is to develop the silicon on the 90 nm 9LP Trusted Foundry process line. This Phase II program will leverage the government investment in hardware miniaturization, ASIC development, advanced GPS signal processing to support advanced guided projectile programs. With close to a decade of experience with advanced anti-jam and military GPS signal processing, Mayflower is in a unique position to leverage that expertise in optimizing the SWAP-C metrics for the advanced SAASM Receiver with integrated Up-finding and Anti-Jam capability for Department of Defense applications.
