Experience wireless GPS coverage within any military aircraft. This means any handheld military or commercial GPS receivers, precision air drop guidance units and parachutist NavAid receivers can acquire satellite signals inside the aircraft. A GPS receiver will experience no loss in signal coverage as it moves out of an aircraft equipped with GPS Live Inside.
GPS receivers (both commercial and military) do not automatically “get” a GPS signal. Receivers have to search for and then lock onto the signal. The receivers typically cannot lock onto the signals when inside of an aircraft. When a Warfighter exits an aircraft, there can be a relatively long period of time to the first GPS position fix as the receiver searches for the signal. The time needed for a navigation device (such as a DAGR) to lock onto a signal outside of the plane, may affect the amount of actual air time available to navigate and glide to a target. With GPS Live Inside, the Warfighter always has a signal inside or out of the aircraft.
