MOUNTED
Abstract
The Mounted Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) subprogram: Highly accurate Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) data is a key enabler and a cross cutting capability for Army forces to execute their mission. Army Forces require unhindered access to trusted PNT information under conditions where space based PNT may be limited or denied to maintain its Global Positioning System military advantage on the battlefield. The current capability, Global Positioning System (GPS), is a fixed frequency system which is vulnerable to current and emerging threats and field condition. The Mounted A-PNT System is a scalable form-factor that distributes PNT data to multiple devices (client systems) via the PNT System of Systems Architecture (SOSA) in a mounted environment by using GPS signals coupled with non-GPS augmentation while minimizing the redundant costs for Anti-Jam Antennas in GPS degraded or denied environments. The Mounted A-PNT System is the integration of multiple sensors for platform distribution of PNT, which allows the Soldier to operate in a GPS denied environment. The Mounted A-PNT System implements a SOSA that acquires, protects and distributes secure PNT on stationary and/or mobile platforms. The mounted materiel solution paces the threats and is a migration path to future technologies, including M-Code. FY 2017 Base funds in the amount of $11.552 million is for the initiation of the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) phase to support the Mounted PNT subprogram. These efforts include the development, testing and integration activities to demonstrate sufficient technical maturity to support the entrance into the EMD phase. It will also include the integration of M-Code in accordance with Public Law 111-383 Sec 913 and documentation preparation to support the Milestone A Decision.
