It is the first time that EGI-M, equipped with an M-Code capable receiver, has been tested in flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>M-Code technology enables missions to be conducted in GPS-contested and GPS-denied environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The M-Code capable GPS receiver is a core component of Northrop Grumman\u2019s EGI-M program, engineered to quickly transmit positioning, navigation and timing information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fully operational EGI-M system will feature a modular platform interface, designed to easily integrate with current platform navigation systems, supporting advanced software and hardware technology upgrades now and in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expert:<\/strong><br>Ryan Arrington, vice president, navigation and cockpit systems, Northrop Grumman: \u201cThis flight test is a major step forward in developing our next generation airborne navigation system. The EGI-M capability developed by Northrop Grumman enables our warfighters to navigate accurately and precisely through hostile and contested environments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Details on EGI-M:<\/strong><br>Testing took place in May aboard a testbed aircraft. Flight test data confirmed that Northrop Grumman\u2019s prototype EGI-M solution, the M-Code capable LN-351, performed at standards equal to its current LN-251 INS \/ GPS system, featuring modern fiber optic gyro technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critical design review for EGI-M was completed in 2020. Launch platforms for Northrop Grumman\u2019s EGI-M are the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and the F-22 Raptor. Additional fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms across Department of Defense and allied forces have selected Northrop Grumman\u2019s EGI-M as their future navigation solution to support mission-critical systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northrop Grumman Corporation has conducted a successful flight test of its advanced airborne navigation&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[102],"tags":[210,211,215,214],"class_list":["post-2012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-space-news","tag-indian-space-news","tag-space-magazines","tag-space-news-online","tag-space-news-today"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2012"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2024,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2012\/revisions\/2024"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacepreneurmag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
