PTTI 2030 - Time Transfer and Applications in 2030

Abstract

Current Time-Transfer techniques using Two Way Satellite Time Transfer (TWSTT) and Global Positioning System (GPS) Carrier-Phase differencing offer excellent Precise Time and Time Interval (PTTI) accuracy and stability for only a few high technology laboratories and weapon systems. Today's costs of these systems impede their use in systems where performance gains are possible. However, future research and development will likely extend today's leading edge PTTI capabilities economically to greater numbers of laboratories, systems, and users in the years to come. This poster examines the potential future applications of much improved mainstream time transfer and hyper-accurate time transfer for precise applications, as well as identifying foreseen potential hurdles along the way."
