U.S. Tracks Military M-Code GPS Signal
Engineers have for the first time acquired and tracked the new U.S. M-code military Global Positioning System signal from an orbiting satellite.More here.
Raytheon engineers in southern California picked up the signal that is designed to provide next-generation GPS data that is more difficult to jam than current GPS, the company announced Monday.
M-code is a keystone of the advanced system. It is designed to be transmitted on both the satellite L1 and L2 bands and extends out to 24 Megahertz, compared to 20 MHz for the Y code.
The result is a greater anti-jamming capability as well as better accuracy and encryption, Raytheon said.
