The BOWMAN program provides the next generation tactical communications system for the British Army. The program includes a full range of tactical secure voice/data radios and intercom equipment, computers, a tactical internet and system management software. Rockwell Collins was selected by the system prime contractor, General Dynamics (U.K) Ltd, to provide all the embedded and vehicle-mounted military Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment for the program.

Our third generation Miniature Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver Engine (MPE-S) and the Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR)-III (Appliqué) provide the primary location information for all users of BOWMAN equipment, enabling forces to make informed decisions with an enhanced level of situational awareness.  The units offer high-performance position, velocity and time (PVT) in a jamming environment.  They include fast acquisition and area navigation functions and all incorporate the Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) for advanced security. At the end of March 2006, Rockwell Collins had delivered more than 35,000 receivers for the program.
