Marine Corps reconnaissance teams require a passive, highly durable miniaturized Navigational Star Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver capable of providing accurate, navigational information during long-range, clandestine reconnaissance missions. The SUNS will be utilized by reconnaissance personnel during Advance Force Operations and other long-range reconnaissance missions where the insertion modes, environmental conditions, and clandestine operational requirements preclude the use of other existing or envisioned navigation systems. With the current size and weight projections in the NAVSTAR GPS Manpack, it is possible that the SUNS could also be utilized to satisfy the Marine Corps GPS Manpack requirements. An Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of FY89 is required.
