Requesting Industry Feedback Request for Information (RFI): Request For Comment and Feedback on the United States (US) Army Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) proposed updates to IS-GPS-153E, the GPS Standard Serial Interface Protocol (GSSIP), and CI-MGUE/GA-880B, the MGUE Increment (Inc.) 2 Ground Application (GA) Receiver Technical Requirements Document (TRD), to support future development of MGUE Inc. 2 ground domain derivative products that are backward compatible with systems that currently integrate MGUE Inc. 1 ground domain derivative products, e.g. BAE MPE-M, BAE MicroGRAM-M, or L3H TruTrak-M Type II. Synopsis The Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Division C, in support of Project Manager (PM) PNT, Capability Program Executive (CPE) Electronic Warfare and Sensors (IEW&S) is requesting industry feedback on feasibility and ability to implement, as well as general comments on the US Army PNT proposed MGUE Inc. 2 to Inc. 1 backward compatibility updates.

The PNT proposed MGUE Inc. 2 to Inc. 1 backward compatibility updates will allow applying the MSID-001B data input/output and SSI form factor to future MGUE Inc. 2 derivative products that will otherwise comply with the GA TRD and IS-GPS-153E, as applicable to the product development. The proposed PNT MGUE Inc. 2 to Inc. 1 backward compatibility updates are export controlled under a DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT D.
