PLEASANT GROVE, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirent Federal Systems, the nation’s leading provider of GPS and GNSS simulators, has announced today that they have begun development of MNSA capable GNSS simulators. Spirent Federal is one of the first GNSS simulator manufacturing companies to develop software that will support M-Code using the Modernized Navstar Security Algorithm (MNSA).
M-Code is an updated GPS military signal that is being rolled out as part of the “modernization” of the current GPS constellation. GPS modernization began in 2000 when the GPS Selective Availability (SA) feature was set to zero. Since that time, the US Air Force has been working on newer generation satellites that will transmit new civilian and military signals.
Until now, AES and SDS have been the only methods authorized to be used within a GNSS simulator to produce M-Code. Spirent Federal Systems has been the leading provider of AES M-code and SDS M-code capable simulators for many years, but as the long awaited MNSA M-code signals become available, Spirent Federal Systems will be making this option available to authorized users on their GSS9000 series simulator.
