Spatial, Temporal and Orientation Information for Contested Environments (STOIC)

Abstract

The Spatial, Temporal and Orientation Information for Contested Environments (STOIC) program enabled precision cooperative effects by developing global time transfer and synchronization systems independent of GPS. As a corollary to time synchronization, this program also enabled GPS-independent positioning to maintain precise time synchronization between collaborating mobile users. Key attributes of this program are global availability, minimal and low cost infrastructure, anti-jamming capability, and performance equal to or better than GPS, achieved through recent advances in optical clocks and time transfer. Demonstrations on relevant platforms in relevant environments were used to validate the technology. Technologies from this program transitioned to the Navy.
