NAVIGATION TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The overarching objective of this activity is to develop technologies that enable the development of affordable, effective and robust Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities using the GPS, non-GPS navigation devices, and atomic clocks. This project will increase the operational effectiveness of U.S. Naval units. Emphasis is placed on GPS Anti-Jam (AJ) Technology; Precision Time and Time Transfer Technology; and Non-GPS Navigation Technology (Inertial aviation system, bathymetry, gravity and magnetic navigation). The focus is on the mitigation of GPS electronic threats, the development of atomic clocks that possess unique long-term stability and precision, and the development of compact, low-cost Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). The following are non-inclusive examples of accomplishments and plans for projects funded in this activity. The increase from FY 2016 to FY 2017 is due to increased funding for the Navigation and Precision Timekeeping initiative. The decrease in funding from FY 2017 to FY 2018 is due to the ramp down of the Navigation and Precision Timekeeping initiative.
