Assured PNT Communications Advanced Tech

Abstract

Tactical Land Component Forces require access to Space and High Altitude (HA) capabilities to enable force protection and maneuver during Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). Space and High Altitude sensors provide resilient communications, Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) and deep sensing capabilities required in the targeting process to enable rapid and responsive sensor-to-shooter applications to engage and defeat Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) forces. APNT Communications Advanced Technology PE will provide prototyping, development, and experimentation of HA sensors and Tactical Space Layer (TSL) sensors (electro-optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and radio frequency) which are designed to provide wide-area, responsive deep area sensing required for beyond line of sight (BLOS) targeting and force maneuver, significantly reducing Sensor to Shooter (S2S) timelines. APNT Advanced Technology PE matures, demonstrates, and integrates lightweight materials, hardware components with reduced power consumption, and advanced data collection, processing, and dissemination capabilities. Also improves algorithms that process space and near space sensor data in real and near real time for integration into battlefield operating systems. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Technical Center (TC). Work in this Project complements PE 0602146A (Network C3I Technology) Projects CK1 (Assured PNT Enabling Technologies) and CG3 (Assured PNT Communications Applied Research).
