Rockwell Collins delivers 400,000th Defense Advanced GPS Receiver
Rockwell Collins today announced the delivery of its 400,000th Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) during a ceremony including military officials along with Rockwell Collins' leadership and employees.
"I'm honored to mark this important landmark in Rockwell Collins' service to US warfighters," said Rockwell Collins Chairman, President and CEO Clay Jones. "Since the DAGR was introduced in 2004, it has played a critical role in helping our soldiers complete missions and save lives."
Primarily used by the US Army, the DAGR is considered the handheld military GPS receiver standard for position, navigation and situational awareness for soldiers and other system installation needs. In addition to being a reliable, cost-effective solution, the DAGR's mission planning enhancements increase soldier productivity and overall mission effectiveness.
The receiver provides precise timing to synchronize tactical radios, missile platforms and other situational awareness navigation systems for the digital battlespace and includes a graphical user interface that provides ease of use while enhancing the soldier's effectiveness and safety.
The DAGR design incorporates anti-jam improvements and denied GPS capabilities for worldwide enhanced battlefield protection and is the first US handheld GPS receiver program to receive the Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module, a next-generation security device.
