Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT)
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing modernization priority. The Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (APNT) provides Army ground maneuver forces access to assured PNT under conditions where Global Positioning Systems (GPS) may be limited or denied (jammed and spoofed) in support of the National Defense Authorization Act guidance. APNT products are ruggedized tactical systems that enable Army forces the ability to shoot, move, communicate, thereby allowing forces to maneuver from operational and strategic distances to close with, destroy, and exploit the enemy with sufficient combat power, tempo, and momentum. APNT addresses two critical capability gaps: Access and Integrity. Access is the ability to retrieve accurate PNT information in a contested Electronic Warfare/Cyber environment. Integrity is the ability to trust the PNT information. PNT is a critical enabler of many Army Maneuver, Fires, and Command and Control systems that are dependent on accurate Position and Timing, and a foundational Multi-Domain Battle capability to support: calibrated force posture (position and maneuver across strategic distances); multi-domain formations (operate in contested spaces against near-peer adversaries); convergence (continuous integration of capabilities in all domains). The APNT Program in FY 2023 consists of three Projects; (BV4) Area Protection and Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) Technology Development, (EH8) Dismounted APNT System (DAPS), and (EJ2) Mounted APNT System (MAPS). There are no Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Base Research, Development, Test & Evaluation funds requested for Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (ED5). Approved Requirements: The Dismounted APNT System (DAPS) Capabilities Development Document (CDD) was Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved on 28 January 2022. The Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) approved the Mounted APNT System (MAPS) CDD on 12 September 2020. MAPS and DAPS are implementing Congressional and OSD guidance to develop and field Military Code (M-Code) Global Positioning System (GPS) Ground user Equipment. The AROC approved the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) Abbreviated Capabilities Development Document (A-CDD) on 04 January 2021. In support of House Report 116-442, 2020, the program will prototype modular cards and software according to the Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) standards, for future modernization and new weapons systems. On 31 January, 19 March, and 10 August 2019, the MAPS, DAPS, and Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) Directed Requirements were approved, respectively. An abbreviated Capabilities Development Document (A-CDD) for the ALTNAV capability is drafted and in staffing. Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memo (JROCM) 049-10, dated 05 April 2010, approved the PNT Assurance Initial Capabilities Document and designated the Army as the Lead Component for Assured PNT. (BV4) - The Area Protection and Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) Technology Development project enables the effective transition of technologies from industry, academia, and government Science & Technology organizations, and consequent development of alternative and complementary PNT technologies for integration into Mounted APNT System (MAPS) and Dismounted APNT System (DAPS) to pace or overmatch current and evolving threats and in support of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Guidance (2021 NDAA: Section 1611). Area Protection & ALTNAV Technologies will be developed in order to demonstrate Modular Open System Approach (MOSA), Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS), ALTNAV, and Science & Technology emerging complementary PNT. (EH8) - The DAPS meets congressional (10 USC 2281) and Department of Defense guidance to provide resilient, survivable, M-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) capable Ground User Equipment (MGUE) receivers. The DAPS will provide Soldiers Assured PNT (APNT) information utilizing various sources of PNT data to address multiple threats and ensure mission success where Global Positioning System (GPS) may be limited or denied. DAPS will deliver APNT in an optimized form factor that supports dismounted mission profiles in denied environments. (EJ2) - The MAPS meets congressional (10 USC 2281) and Department of Defense guidance to provide resilient, survivable, M-Code Global Positioning System (GPS) capable Ground User Equipment (MGUE) receivers. The MAPS will deliver systems that provide the Army's combat forces access to assured PNT information under conditions where space-based GPS may be limited or denied to enable Army forces the ability to move, shoot, communicate, and provide situational awareness.
