100,000th 🇺🇸 L3Harris (@L3HarrisTech) reported that they recently reached significant benchmark with the delivery of the 100,000th next-generation Military-Code (M-Code) GPS receiver to U.S and allied partners. "M-Code receivers are designed to deliver secure, jam-resistant PNT capabilities that are essential as military operations grow more distributed, joint and technologically complex.
