Leonardo DRS Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing
U.S. military positioning technology relies heavily on Global Positioning System (GPS). Yet, in recent years, jamming, spoofing and other forms of interference have grown in frequency and severity. This creates risks for military forces when encountering technologies that degrade the GPS capability on combat vehicles. The solution to this challenge is Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT) – a way to provide accurate position, navigation and timing (PNT) information at all times under all conditions. Given this threat, Combatant Commanders are requesting alternate PNT systems to GPS for their maneuver formations. Leonardo DRS developed a modified TRL-9 production Data Distribution Unit computer (DDUx II) with embedded A-PNT capabilities to provide a reliable and accurate mounted navigation and timing solution in GPS threatened environments. The embedded
