Irvine-based Microsemi announced on Thursday a production order for $22 million in GPS modules for use in defense systems.

The modules will be used on military platforms including missile guidance, secure radio communications and precision guided munitions designed with global positioning (GPS) capability. Weapon systems with GPS have the ability to strike fixed targets in all weather, day or night, while reducing the number of rounds expended and minimizing collateral damage. The anti-tamper features on these defense platforms prevent reverse engineering and other covert methods that could be used to gain access to sensitive data.
