Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT)
Abstract
Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) provides Army ground maneuver forces access to assured PNT information under conditions where space-based PNT Global Positioning System (GPS) may be limited or denied (jammed and spoofed). A-PNT products are ruggedized tactical systems that enable Army forces at echelon the ability to shoot, move, communicate, and protect their forces to penetrate and dis-integrate enemy anti-access systems, thereby allowing them to maneuver from operational and strategic distances to close with, destroy, and exploit the enemy in close and deep maneuver areas with sufficient combat bower, tempo, and momentum. A-PNT 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 current Global Positioning System (GPS) capability is a fixed frequency system susceptible to electronic warfare and field environments (e.g. urban, dense vegetation). 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. Army Futures Command approved the Mounted A-PNT System (MAPS) Directed Requirement (DR) on 13 January 2019. The Dismounted A-PNT System (DAPS) Directed Requirement was approved 05 April 2019. The Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) Directed Requirement was approved in November 2019. MAPS transitions to a Capability Development Document (CDD) in June 2020 and DAPS transitions in FY 2021. Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) consists of: (FJ8) - The Assured PNT project funding line is for: PNT System of Systems Architecture (SOSA) Testing to validate performance of end-to-end system performance; Resiliency and Software Assurance Measures (RSAM) upgrades to legacy GPS systems. In addition, this line supports the development of complementary and adjacent A-PNT technologies as well as Enterprise Enablers including the Alternative Navigation (ALT NAV) signal Enterprise Build-out. These technologies will be integrated into future products, strategies, concepts of operation, architectures, and platforms to assure PNT. (FJ9) - Dismounted Assured PNT (A-PNT) System (DAPS) will provide the Soldiers equipped with Nett Warrior and other Soldier architecture compliant systems (e.g.Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS)) conducting operations outside of vehicles, unhindered access the critical timing and position data to effectively engage targets, share data across the network and conduct mission command functions. (FK1) - The Pseudolite project was terminated by the Army on 12 February 2019. (FK2) - The Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) System (MAPS) is a platform-mounted, ruggedized tactical PNT system which provides electronic protection capabilities that enable combatant commanders the ability to move, shoot, and communicate in a Global Positioning System (GPS) challenged or denied environments. (FK3) - The Anti-Jam Antenna Systems (AJAS) provides GPS signal point protection and PNT Assurance in challenged environments through Anti-Jam technologies. AJAS enables tactical capabilities through assured signal acquisition in challenged environments. The AJAS will assist in delivering distributed assured PNT capabilities to mounted platforms over time in an iterative, affordable manner that allows for future modernization.
