Assurred PNT Enabling Technologies

Abstract

Tactical Land Component Forces require access to Space and High Altitude capabilities to enable force projection and maneuver during Multi-Domain Operations. Space and High Altitude sensors provide resilient communications, assured PNT 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. Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (APNT) Enabling Technologies PE investigates and matures technologies for Space-Based and High Altitude applications for Army tactical ground forces. Efforts include the development of sensors and electronic components for communications, signal and information processing, target acquisition, position/ navigation, and threat warning within Space and High Altitude environments. Investigations conducted leverage other Department of Defense (DoD) space science and technology applications to support Army space force enhancement and cooperative satellite payload development. Efforts include research to mature current technologies in quantum sciences based communications, sensing, and data teleportation for small spacecraft applications. Work complements PE 0603463A (Network C3I Advanced Technology) Project CJ8 (Assured PNT Communications Advanced Tech) The work cited 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) in Huntsville, AL.
