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 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 software upgrades mitigate threats to legacy DAGR and GB-GRAM Selective Availability and Anti-Spoof Module (SAASM) based military GPS receivers. RSAM provides an interim solution in a GPS-challenged operational environment until future Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions are fully deployed. RSAM will coordinate integrated software testing with military system managers and the test community to validate software and synchronize RSAM deployment to the user. Additionally, the Assured PNT project supports the Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) capability that will provide positioning and timing information for navigation for the Army, which completes critical timing and equipment upgrades, and key certification activities. These connections, upgrades, and certification activities are critical to operationalizing ALTNAV as an effective and suitable contingency source of PNT data in the event GPS is denied/degraded. Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 base funds in the amount of $21.192 Million support RSAM software enhancements to Army PNT receivers and capabilities, and development of Assured PNT enablers to include network integration and certification of ALTNAV enterprise build out (ground).
