More GPSs

The U.S. Air Force has exercised contract production options with Rockwell Collins for the purchase of 9,746 Defense Advanced GPS Receivers (DAGRs) and accessories.

The DAGR is the replacement for the Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR) in integrated platforms as well as for the advanced and basic GPS user. It provides users, including Foreign Military Sales (FMS), with a GPS Precise Positioning System (PPS), hand-held, dual-frequency (L1/L2), lightweight receiver (less than one pound) with a built-in next generation, tamper-resistant GPS “SAASM” (Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module) Security module.

This is a modified firm fixed price contract for $21,765,082.
