US Navy Global Positioning System (GPS) and Navigation Systems Division

The Global Positioning System and Navigation Systems Division is the Navy's leading navigation research and development activity.  The GPS and Navigation Systems Division provides an advanced RDT&E environment for navigation systems, GPS receiver systems and subsystems, as well as complementary and alternative navigation approaches.  The GPS and Navigation Systems Division has supported the GPS program since its inception in 1973 and has functioned as the lead Navy navigation technology activity for well over 50 years. As Central Engineering Activity (CEA), we provide technical management and engineering support for GPS receiver development and integration into more than 120 Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard platforms and which manages the GPS CEA Laboratory for evaluating GPS receivers.

The Division provides full service support of navigation systems engineering from concept development through modeling and simulation, integration, test and evaluation, acquisition support, fleet installation, and in-service engineering.

Our state of the art GPS CEA and inertial navigation facilities are used in government and commercial navigation research and development and in fleet support programs.

SSC San Diego is an active member of the GPS Joint Program Office (JPO) Test Center of Expertise (COE).
