Rockwell Collins enters GPS market: "
Government defense contractor Rockwell Collins announced today the availability of Polaris family of GPS receivers which will offer the same features and ruggedness of their military grade Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR: pictured above) and Miniature Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver Engine (MPE).
The Polaris Guide, a handheld receiver, and Polaris Link, an embeddable card, will be available for use in any federal, civilian, Department of Defense or international platforms requiring SPS real-time GPS data. Both products incorporate Rockwell Collins’ 12-channel All-in-View SPS Course Acquisition (C/A) code module and will be available to both military and non-military customers, as well as NATO and non-NATO countries. In addition, the Polaris Explosive Resistant GPS is available to these same entities and is designed for vehicle and ship applications requiring the ruggedness to resist mine or Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detonations, thereby improving crew survivability.
Rockwell Collins has already delivered more than 156,000 DAGRs to military customers and have orders for 50,000 more - which we reported was going for $2200 a piece. Nice deal!
So if you are interested in a GPS receiver that can resists explosives Rockwell Collins has got you covered.
