Air Force extends Rockwell Collins MUE contract

GPS World, Jan, 2008

The U.S. Air Force has exercised a $50.7 million contract option with Rockwell Collins to complete the next phase of the Modernized User Equipment (MUE) program, the company announced December 12.

Work will consist of receiver card development for ground and airborne applications, including test and security certification for next-generation GPS technology. The Air Force awarded the initial MUE contract of $27.9 million to Rockwell Collins in 2006 to develop and demonstrate user segment receiver cards, establishing the first proof of design for the future GPS architecture. That contract, executed through October 2007, supported preliminary design of the modernized receiver cards.
