The EGI-M system offers a unified hardware and software solution that can be integrated into a range of military platforms. The company said the system has been modernized to enhance mission effectiveness in high-conflict areas.
According to Northrop Grumman, the system provides resilient and trusted navigation through military-code PNT capabilities. It also includes Blended Navigation Assurance, which ensures GPS data remains accurate and secure even when under threat.
The system is designed with flexible software architecture that allows operators to host third-party PNT applications without direct involvement from the manufacturer. This enables integration with additional sensors and the ability to track non-GPS satellite signals.
Northrop Grumman said the system has undergone extensive hardware and software testing to meet military performance standards. These efforts are intended to prepare the platform for full-scale production.
Ryan Arrington, vice president of navigation and cockpit systems at Northrop Grumman, said: “Northrop Grumman has a strong legacy of delivering reliable and innovative navigation solutions to the U.S. military and our allies.” He added: “Our latest modernized PNT system, EGI-M, enhances operational effectiveness and is built with the flexibility to defeat today’s threats and adapt to future mission demands.”
Chris Grover, Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, said: “This advanced, resilient PNT receiver allows our U.S. military assets the ability to go where we want to, with the capability we need, at the time of our choosing.”
Northrop Grumman said it continues to develop positioning, navigation and timing solutions across multiple domains, from underwater to space. The company added that its systems are designed to ensure reliable navigation even in contested operational environments.
