    "excerpt": "BAE Systems will upgrade the GPS inside the U.S. Navy’s carrier landing system to the military’s encrypted, jam-resistant M-code signal under a $16 million contract from Collins Aerospace. The company will design and develop the M-code GPS solution for the Joint Precision Approach and Landing System, known as JPALS, BAE Systems said on Oct. 1. It will supply its DIGAR-500M anti-jam receiver for the job. The company did not say when development will finish, how many receivers the work covers, or when upgraded systems could reach the fleet. JPALS guides aircraft onto the decks of aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships using GPS, in fog, heavy rain and rough seas, without relying on landing radar. All three versions of the F-35 carry it, as do the CMV-22B Osprey and the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned tanker. The system reached initial operational capability with U.S. Marine Corps F-35Bs on amphibious ships in 2018 and with the U.S. Navy on nuclear-powered carriers in 2021. Raytheon, now part of RTX, built JPALS and delivered all 23 low-rate production units to the U.S. Navy under a $234 million contract awarded in 2019. The system is also installed on Britain’s HMS Queen Elizabeth, Italy’s ITS Cavour and Japan’s JS Izumo. Collins Aerospace, which awarded the BAE Systems contract, is also an RTX business. BAE Systems already provides the GPS receivers in today’s JPALS. They use...",
