IN THE FIELD


Soldiers from I Corps, U.S. Army Europe, the Colorado and New Mexico National Guards, U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Joint Special Operations Command and the Army Cyber Directorate participated in the PNT Assessment Exercise, or PNTAX, at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, in July and August 2019.

PNT is a critical enabler for achieving the five requirements for accurate fire, the highly technical and very specific data that artillery units must continually update in order to use their most accurate and advanced weaponry. PNT is also required for the digital kill-chain sequence, where each link is vital to obtain lethal capabil- ity for Army fires.


Our Armaments Center collaborates closely with the Joint Program Executive Office for Armaments and Ammunition (JPEO A&A), PEO Missiles and Space, PM PNT, the APNT Cross-Functional Team, the Long Range Precision Fires Cross-Functional Team and others to develop advanced APNT technologies for current and next-generation long-range artillery munitions and armaments.


agreement with Project Manager Position- ing, Navigation and Timing (PM PNT), within the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (PEO IEW&S), in fall 2019 to advance a modular GPS-independent sensor solution to the field.


Recent history has shown the importance of providing Soldiers with GPS that is reli- able and resilient. Soldiers in Afghanistan rely heavily on GPS, but the mountainous terrain inhibits signals, limiting Soldiers’ ability to communicate.


Te C5ISR NAVWAR project will benefit both Soldiers and commanders by provid- ing a common operating picture of the battlefield. Te plug-in solution will fuse data from ground, air and space sensors, and provide real-time information for


mission planning, as well as more effective electronic protection measures. Compo- nents of the NAVWAR project will transition to both PM PNT and Project Manager Electronic Warfare & Cyber, also within PEO IEW&S.


Te Armaments Center also leverages the expertise of industry, academia and other DOD services to integrate best-of-breed PNT technologies, with a specific focus on next-generation cannon artillery. Tese technologies include alternative naviga- tion, anti-jam and anti-spoof, M-Code receivers, image-based terminal guidance, and gun-hardened inertial measurement units. M-Code is a GPS signal designed by the Air Force to improve security and provide anti-jamming capabilities for


The Army Research Laboratory is leading a holistic approach to enable GPS-free APNT for dismounted Soldiers, including precise time and exquisite positioning without access to globally networked information.
