OVERVIEW

The IGAS is the first integrated Global Positioning System and Anti-Jam system in the proven family of Rockwell Collins munitions receivers. The receiver utilizes 24-channel dual frequency all-in-view navigation, offering high performance GPS for tightly coupled GPS/INS (Global Positioning System/ Inertial Navigation System) integrations. It is derived from the field-proven 12-channel NavStrike™ and Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) receivers.

The IGAS incorporates the advantages of the most advanced GPS technologies available today: enhanced Direct-Y acquisition, 24-channel all-in-view navigation, high jamming immunity, and fast initial acquisitions.

The IGAS is a low cost, small size, high accuracy, and highly reliable system that has been specifically designed to meet the mission needs of missile and munitions applications. The IGAS provides accurate GPS navigation either as a stand-alone system or when integrated with an existing INS or Doppler Reference System.

This integrated system offers full Precise Positioning Service (PPS) accuracy. Simultaneous L1/L2 operation provides real time ionospheric corrections for further accuracy enhancements. Its primary communication interface is a high-speed RS-422 serial port. The Anti-Jam solution utilizes 12-beam steering. This All-In-View Beam Steering ensures signals from all satellites in view will receive the full benefits of the systems AJ performance. Additionally this system has an Ultra Tight Coupling (UTC) interface option.

Modular design and field-programmable software ease maintenance, provide a growth path, and reduce life-cycle cost for use in various jammed environments. Delivery is assured by using common critical components, processes and manufacturing lines that deliver over 100,000 Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM)-based GPS receivers per year.
