Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT)

Abstract

The Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (APNT) project funds the development of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) APNT Card and development of hardware and software modernization technologies. This will enable the Science & Technology transitions of incremental and disruptive technologies to fieldable Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions to pace or overmatch current and evolving threats and in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Guidance (2021 NDAA: Section 1611). The CMOSS APNT Card provides the APNT solutions required by the CMOSS Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) Abbreviated Capability Development Document and distributes APNT data to payloads within the CMFF chassis and external systems as needed. It is designed to provided limited PNT in satellite denied or degraded environments ensuring mission accomplishments. The CMFF PNT card provides trusted PNT by utilizing multiple PNT sources and leveraging multiple open architectures. These technologies comply with the PNT Reference Architecture and Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) compliant hardware; CMOSS and software frameworks (PNT Operating System (pntOS)), to ensure a plug and play capability. The CMOSS APNT Card prototyping and software development will be conducted in accordance with modular open systems approach (Reference House Report 116-442, 2020). Hardware and software technologies will transition to Mounted Assured PNT System (MAPS) and Dismounted Assured PNT System (DAPS) programs of record. Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Base funds in the amount of $3.013 million funds CMOSS PNT Modular Card Development.
