Welcome to Acquiring Minds, an information series that breaks down how the capabilities acquired by Space Systems Command are empowering our Nation's warfighters, contributing to lethality, and keeping our homeland safe. 

The Space Force Mission is to secure our Nation's interests in, from, and to space, and that starts with space acquisition. This is the heart of what we do at Space Systems Command: identifying and delivering the complex capabilities and systems our warfighters need to defend our Nation and protect our way of life. This space is dedicated to sharing examples of how the acquisition work that we do here every day helps the men and women in our U.S. military - our warfighters - as well as our allied partners - have the tools they need to most effectively protect and defend our Nation - on ground, at sea, by air and in space.

Welcome to Acquiring Minds, where we break down how the capabilities acquired by Space Systems Command are empowering our Nation's fighters. Today we’re highlighting Military GPS User Equipment. The Joint Modernization Handheld (JMHH) is next generation GPS user technology that receives anti-jam, spoof-resistant M-code. This includes our Joint Modernized Handheld (JMHH) Next-Gen GPS receivers. U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Space Force, along with Norwegian and French allied partners recently participated in a real-time demonstrational test of the near-final hardware and software. Once completed, the new JMHH technology will expands the use of M-Code beyond platforms within the air, sea, and land domains and deliver to individual warfighters anywhere in the world and across any operational environment.
