National Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Architecture

Abstract

An interagency team, sponsored by the Departments of Defense and Transportation and led by the National Security Space Office, has developed a National Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Architecture that will substantially affect future government- and commercially-provided PNT products and services. The Architecture envisions sustained U.S. global leadership in PNT through a strategy that makes greater PNT capabilities more generally available. The strategy is supported by vectors, or enterprise architecture elements, for using multiple PNT-related phenomenologies and interchangeable PNT solutions, PNT and Communications synergy, and cooperative organizational structures.
