MOUNTED

Abstract

The Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) System provides PNT data and is a key enabler and a cross cutting capability for Army ground maneuver forces to execute their mission. Army ground maneuver Forces require access to trusted PNT information under conditions where space-based PNT may be limited or denied to maintain its Global Positioning System (GPS) military advantage on the battlefield. The current GPS capability is a fixed frequency system which is vulnerable to current and emerging threats and field condition. Mounted A-PNT is a scalable form-factor that distributes PNT data to multiple devices (client systems) on mounted platforms. The system fuses military GPS with physics-based sensors and timing technology to provide trusted PNT data, which allows the Soldier to operate in GPS degraded or denied environments. Mounted A-PNT System includes receiver software capable of acquiring Pseudolite signals resulting in additional protection for military GPS in denied environments and paces the threat by including a migration path to Military Code (M-Code) and other future technologies. There are no FY 2019 Base funds. Program Element (PE) 0604120A project EJ2 transitions to PE 1206120A project FK2 beginning in FY19.
