2003 CJCS Master Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Plan
Abstract
This Instruction constitutes the Department of Defense (DoD) plan for use, sustainment, and modernization of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems to meet operational requirements. The Instruction supercedes CJCSI 6130.01B, 15 June 2000, "2000 CJCS Master Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Plan (MPNTP)." The Instruction has been updated to reflect the merger of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) and U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM). Effective 1 October 2002, these organizations officially merged and retain the name USSTRATCOM. The Instruction also reflects new GPS user equipment acquisition policy and updates to the current PNT architecture and PNT research and development. GPS is now and will continue to be the primary radionavigation system source of PNT information for the Department of Defense. All DoD combatant users must acquire, train with, and use GPS systems capable of receiving the encrypted, military GPS signal, the Precise Positioning Service (PPS). The following enclosures are included in this Instruction: (A) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Policy; (B) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Requirements; (C) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing System Architecture; (D) GPS Operations and Security Policy; (E) GPS User Equipment Acquisition Policy and Status; (F) Operational PNT Systems -- Descriptions and Characteristics; (G) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Research and Development; (H) Control of PNT Systems in Times of Tension or War; (I) Geospatial Information and Services; (J) Precise Time and Time Interval; (K) References; and (L) Glossary.
