products with the MicroGRAM -M GPS
receiver. Our receiver uses M-Code to
facilitate surface mobility while
augmenting alertness and preparedness.
The MicroGRAM-M receiver retains
key functionality in a smaller, lighter
package than its predecessors, MPE-S
and MPE-M, while maintaining the same
footprint of SAASM-based MicroGRAM.
The receiver delivers geolocation and Key capabilities for ground-embedded applications
