MAPS GEN II enables mission execution while operating in Military Code Global Positioning System (GPS)-contested environments by providing PNT through both GPS and non-GPS sensors. Given that PNT-reliant systems are ubiquitous across the Army, the Army will field MAPS to units operating across the Army and all operational domains. The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, equipment, resources, and facilities required to execute this effort.
