DISMOUNTED

Abstract

Dismounted Assured PNT (APNT) System (DAPS) will meet congressional (10 USC 2281) and Department of Defense guidance to provide and field Military Code (M-Code) Global Positioning System (GPS) to dismounted Soldiers, Commanders, and applicable End User Devices to provide assured timing and position data necessary to effectively engage targets, share data across the network, and conduct mission command functions. DAPS will deliver APNT in an optimized form factor that supports dismounted mission profiles in denied environments and use cases where mounted APNT solutions are not available. DAPS includes the development of hardware and software to integrate M-Code, GPS, Alternative Navigation (ALTNAV) signals, non-radio frequency (RF) sensors, and other PNT sources to generate and distribute a fused APNT data. Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Base funds in the amount of $10.452 Million will support the completion of engineering development, production and manufacturing readiness as well as Production Qualification Testing (PQT) and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) in preparation for Full Rate Production Decision 2Q FY2024. Additionally, the DAPS program will develop a Full and Open Competitive Contract Request for Proposal for the next iteration of the DAPS (DAPS Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA)) form factor.
