Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT)

Abstract

The Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) project funds the Resiliency and Software Assurance Measures (RSAM) which provides increased capability and situational awareness for 500,000+ fielded legacy military Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers supporting systems and soldiers through at least 2035. Legacy GPS receivers targeted for RSAM enhancements, include but are not limited to, 226,000 Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) and 200,000+ embedded Ground Based-GPS Receiver Applications Module (GB-GRAM). RSAM mitigates risks in a GPS-challenged operational environment until future Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions are fully deployed. Assured PNT enablers include prototype development and testing to demonstrate and prove emerging capabilities for legacy and future PNT resilient solutions. Assured PNT enablers also include the final phase of Alternative Navigation signal enterprise build-out, providing PNT data in a denied or degraded environment. FY 2021 base funds in the amount of $27.215 million support PNT software enhancements to Army PNT receivers and capabilities. RSAM will support continued software development of RSAM Update 2 against emerging threats to legacy military GPS receivers, to include prototype testing and risk mitigation efforts. RSAM will coordinate integrated software testing with military system managers and the test community to validate software and synchronize RSAM deployment to the user. Assured PNT enablers include the final phase of network integration, installation and testing of Alternative Navigation signal enterprise build-out.
