Positioning Navigation Timing Software Defined User Equipment (PNT SDUE)
Abstract
PNT SDUE will develop a Satellite Navigation (SATNAV) Software Defined Receiver (SSDR) hosted on a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) delivering an M-Code receiver with agile reprogramming capability to provide robust, resilient PNT against navigational warfare (NAVWAR) and cyber threats utilizing a government owned technical baseline. The program will also develop Software Defined Antenna Electronics (SDAE) utilizing COTS FPGA equipment to support the ingest of new satellite signals/capabilities, signal processing, and the incorporation of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capability in a software reprogrammable environment. The GNSS receiver and antenna electronics will interface directly with R-EGI via modular open standard architecture. This program will transition and field advanced User Equipment capabilities from the Navigation Technology Satellite (NTS)-3 Air Force Vanguard effort.
