BAE Systems’ NavGuide GPS receiver, the successor to the company’s Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR), has entered into production and begun initial deliveries.
First introduced in 2023, the portable, field-installable M-Code GPS receiver provides secure positioning, navigation, and timing for vehicle, handheld, and sensor applications in extreme environments and weather conditions.
NavGuide features improved protection against modern jamming and spoofing threats, as well as an intuitive, full‑color user interface with waypoint navigation and a moving‑map display.
It can be easily integrated into DAGR-compatible platforms while providing enhanced M-Code security and performance.
The British defense firm said the receiver has already been fitted onto more than 30 vehicle platforms, typically taking less than two minutes to install without requiring modifications to existing hardware or software.
“Built on the same trusted foundation for easy installation and transition, it delivers a more resilient, user-friendly M-Code GPS solution,” said Luke Bishop, director of Navigation and Sensor Systems at BAE.
DAGR
The DAGR is a rugged handheld or vehicle-integrated GPS device that has been deployed across several militaries since 2004.
Four AA batteries power it for at least 14 hours.
The system uses SAASM (Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module) technology alongside dual-frequency encrypted signals to resist jamming and spoofing attacks.
Over 650,000 units have been fielded globally until the end of its production in favor of upgrades like NavGuide.
