Message:

As a FFRDC, MIT Lincoln Laboratory does not build production systems. We are frequently asked by a
sponsor to build a prototype unit (or two) that showcases the new hardware or software developed at
Lincoln Lab. Very often, this prototype unit cannot stand on its own, but is integrated as a payload on a
larger system. For example, we have built several pods, housing sensors, to be mounted to a
government owned UAV, to showcase our software algorithms. These pods (prototype systems, payloads
on a UAV) typically have onboard GPS receivers and antennas, both purchased commercially. The GPS
repeater would be used to test these receivers and allow operation of our system in the lab, prior to being
mounted to an aircraft.

Could you please explain “test GPS receivers,” if you need further details? We will not be
testing the purchased receivers for sensitivity, accuracy, speed of lock, etc. We will test their ability to
provide a position and time.

Thanks,
Peter Klein
