Area Protection and Alt Nav Technology Development

Abstract

Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) Enterprise is a global navigation solution providing warfighters with an alternative source of positioning and timing information. ALTNAV Enterprise is a complementary capability to Global Positioning System and may be used as contingency in the PNT PACE (Primary, Alternative, Contingency, Emergency) Plan that facilitates continued operations as GPS is degraded or denied in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Guidance (2021 NDAA: Section 1611). ALTNAV Enterprise consists of: (1) Space Segment, (2) Ground Control Segment, (3) User Equipment and Software. The Area Protection and Alt Nav Technology Development project supports the ALTNAV capability and complementary PNT technologies. ALTNAV provides radio frequency (RF) and source diversity that enables Army users access to accurate and assured position and time information in GPS denied environments. ALTNAV Abbreviated Capabilities Development Document (A-CDD) was Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) Approved, October 2022. There are no Base funds for project Area Protection and Alt Nav Technology Development (BV4) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. The ALTNAV Enterprise will fully transition to Procurement, Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (SSN K49041) to support ALTNAV fielding.
