“A U.S.-owned utility that provides users with positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. This system consists of three segments: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment.
MAPS provides trusted and Assured PNT to Soldiers on Army platforms in contested environments by distributing PNT to onboard systems and clients that support navigation, mission command, fires...
Positioning, Navigation and Timing or PNT - whether for civil, commercial or military use, modern society as we know it would not be the same without it. Nearly all sectors of our nation’s critical infrastructure rely on the power of PNT – 13 of 16 sectors to be exact.
PNT stands for Positioning, Navigation, and Timing. PNT is the foundation for determining precise location, guiding movement, and synchronizing time across a wide range of civilian and military applications.
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) is necessary for the functioning of the nation’s critical infrastructure. Whether for civil, commercial, or military use nearly all sectors rely on accurate PNT information.
Recognizing the widespread adoption of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services in CI sectors, this guide aims to provide CI owners and operators, PNT developers, manufacturers, integrators, test labs, and service providers with tailorable best practices for planning, development, and use of PNT systems and services.
By understanding the current PNT landscape, including the latest technologies and vulnerabilities, operators can determine which solutions are the best fit to meet their current and future platform needs.
PNT is the killer app for 5G and the operators who move first will define what carrier-grade PNT looks like for the next decade. Deepak Joseph is Vice President of Product Management of NextNav, a pioneer in next-generation terrestrial positioning, navigation, and timing technology.
