Dismounted A-PNT

Abstract

Dismounted Assured PNT (A-PNT) System (DAPS) implements congressional and OSD guidance to develop and field Military Code (M-Code) Ground User Equipment (MGUE) receivers and provides the Soldiers equipped with Nett Warrior (NW) and other Soldier architecture compliant systems (e.g. Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS)) the critical timing and position data to effectively engage targets, share data across the network, and conduct mission command functions. DAPS is planned to be a size, weight and power (SWaP) optimized form-factor that paces the threats and includes development and integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) and non-GPS sensors. DAPS integrates with the NW system and other Soldier architecture compliant systems, and distributes PNT information to the End-User Device (EUD). DAPS includes receiver software capable of fusing sensors and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals resulting in additional integrity for military GPS in denied environments and includes a M-Code receiver solution, or a Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) system with growth path to M-Code. Through an iterative approach, DAPS will continue to fuse M-Code, GNSS, and non-GPS sensors, as well as fuse Alternate Navigation (ALTNAV) and other complementary PNT sources in a SWaP constrained system in order to pace/overmatch the threat and continue to deliver critical timing and position data to effectively engage targets, share data across the network, and conduct mission command functions.
