1. **The US Army Outlines 11 Goals for Next-Generation Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Technology**
According to a report on the FBO website on November 24, 2017, the U.S. Army issued a broad agency announcement seeking industry collaboration to develop advanced positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology. The goal is to enhance the combat effectiveness of land forces by improving situational awareness, mission command support, and decision-making capabilities. Published by the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), the announcement outlines 11 key areas of interest:
- **Pseudo-satellite system**: Develop GPS pseudolite technology to improve situational awareness and mission command.
- **Car navigation system**: Create ground-based PNT systems that support battlefield command and decision-making.
- **Inertial navigation system**: Advance inertial technologies for better situational awareness.
- **Positioning**: Focus on improving positioning and orientation technologies for mission command.
- **Navigation auxiliary sensors**: Enhance navigation aids for off-road operations in GPS-denied environments.
- **Navigation sensor fusion**: Integrate multiple sensors for improved performance in soldier and vehicle applications.
- **Biological navigation techniques**: Explore biomimetic technologies for navigation solutions.
- **PNT timing technology**: Develop precise timing and time transfer systems for military use.
- **PNT modeling and simulation**: Apply validated models across various PNT domains.
- **Navigation warfare applications**: Focus on techniques to monitor and control anti-access/area denial (A2AD) environments.
- **PNT autonomy and AI**: Leverage artificial intelligence and autonomy to enhance PNT capabilities.
