As disrupting U.S. soldiers’ access to accurate and trusted positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information continues to proliferate globally, the U.S. Army is leading the way in delivering the latest Military Code (M-code) and Assured PNT technologies. Three Army organizations within the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA[ALT]) partnered with the Army Futures Command’s Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing/Space Cross-Functional Team (CFT) (now known as the All-Domain Sensing [ADS] CFT) to deliver PNT capability at scale. Guided by the priorities in the National Defense Authorization Act for M-code, Assured PNT, and Alternative Navigation, this close partnership increased the speed of acquisition, delivering critical APNT capabilities that ensure soldiers’ access to trusted PNT (Assured PNT) and increase lethality in multidomain operations.
Project Manager (PM) PNT (under Program Executive Office [PEO] Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors), PM Aviation Mission Systems Architecture (AMSA) (under PEO Aviation), PM Combat Ammunition Systems (CAS) (under Joint PEO Armaments and Ammunition), and the ADS CFT worked in close alignment to bring soldiers a new means of accessing PNT by way of M-code GPS receivers.
