MOUNTED PNT
Abstract
The Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A-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 APNT 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. FY 2019 Base funds in the amount of $22.816 million are provided to complete risk reduction/prototyping efforts required to mature critical technologies, finalize documentation required to support the acquisition decision, contracting, and execution of manufacturing development.
