Mounted A-PNT

Abstract

Mission Command Network Modernization Implementation Plan - Line of Effort 1, 17 April 2018. Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing System (MAPS) will provide the Army's ground maneuver forces access to assured PNT information under conditions where space-based PNT Global Positioning System (GPS) may be limited or denied. A-PNT products are ruggedized tactical systems which provides electronic protection capabilities that enable combatant commanders the ability to move, shoot, and communicate in a Global Positioning System (GPS) challenged or denied environments. MAPS addresses two critical capability gaps: Access and Integrity. Access is the ability to retrieve accurate PNT information in a contested Electronic Warfare/Cyber environment. Integrity is the ability to trust the PNT data. PNT is a critical enabler of many Army Maneuver, Fire and Command and Control systems that are dependent on accurate Position and Timing. Mounted Hub A-PNT: The Mounted Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) System (MAPS) is a platform-mounted, ruggedized tactical PNT system which provides electronic protection capabilities that enable combatant commanders the ability to move, shoot, and communicate in a Global Positioning System (GPS) challenged or denied environments. Included in the MAPS is the Anti-Jam Antenna System (AJAS) which provides GPS signal point protection and PNT Assurance in challenged environments through Anti-Jam technologies. The MAPS will provide PNT when GPS is degraded or denied through M-code, ALTNAV, timing, sensor fusion, anti-jam antenna, and beam steering. This capability will deliver distributed assured PNT capabilities to mounted platforms over time in an iterative, affordable manner that allows for future modernization. This capability will assist in delivering distributed assured PNT capabilities to mounted platforms over time in an iterative, affordable manner that allows for future modernization.
