The MS24 is a military qualified, two-input, four-output, GPS splitter which includes an antenna health sensor and an embedded antenna switch. Dual input ports allow the splitter to be connected to two GPS receive antennas. The sensor monitors the health of the primary antenna connected to the splitter. Based on the information provided by the sensor, the splitter will switch to the secondary antenna in the event of a failure with the primary antenna.
If the failure in the primary is resolved, the splitter will automatically switch back to the primary. The embedded switch has been designed so it can be controlled externally. This external control can also override the internal automatic switch.

About Our Military GPS Splitters
GPS Source splitters are deployed across defense programs because they deliver exceptional GNSS distribution without compromising signal quality. The foundation of every GPS splitter military grade model is precise RF engineering, ensuring:
High Isolation Across Outputs
Prevents interaction between receivers, reducing interference risks and protecting sensitive electronics.
Controlled Gain & Loss Management
Maintains signal power within tight tolerances across all ports—critical for timing accuracy and navigation precision.
Impedance Matching & Low Noise Architecture
Minimizes reflection, reduces noise, and safeguards signal fidelity even in complex installations.
Advanced Fault Detection (Selectable Models)
Some rugged GPS splitter units offer port monitoring to detect antenna failures, cable faults, or power disruptions in real time.
Flexible Powering Options
Flexibility allows seamless integration with a variety of military GNSS system architectures. Choose from:
- DC pass-through
- External power inputs
- AC/DC configurations
- Redundant power setups
- DC-blocking versions
Designed for Harsh and Variable Environments
Military operations demand equipment capable of withstanding environmental extremes—desert heat, arctic cold, field vibration, high shock loadouts, and electromagnetic exposure. Our MIL STD splitter devices are engineered specifically for:
- Extreme temperature swings
- High humidity and moisture exposure
- Vibration and shock typical of ground, air, and naval platforms
- Electromagnetic interference common to tactical environments
- Constant operational uptime under heavy load
We build rugged GPS splitter product designed for real-world duty cycles—not controlled lab settings. With GPS Source, you gain hardware that survives and performs in the environments your mission demands.
