Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT) Technologies

In today’s increasingly connected and contested environments, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies form the backbone of critical operations across defence, aerospace, autonomous systems, and commercial applications. PNT enables platforms, systems, and personnel to determine their precise location, navigate complex environments, and synchronize operations with highly accurate timing references.

Traditionally reliant on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS or Galileo, PNT solutions are evolving rapidly to ensure resilience against signal degradation, jamming, and spoofing threats. Advances in alternative PNT solutions—including inertial navigation systems (INS), RF-based positioning, and network-based timing—offer robust redundancy and operational continuity even in denied environments.

Enabling Autonomy and Operational Superiority

Together, PNT and Visual Navigation technologies are key enablers for:

• Autonomous vehicles and drones

• Military platforms operating in GPS-denied environments

• Precision-guided munitions

• Robotics in manufacturing, mining, and agriculture

• Search and rescue missions

As threats evolve and operating environments grow more complex, the integration of resilient PNT with vision-based navigation ensures secure, reliable, and precise navigation—paving the way for the next generation of autonomous and mission-critical systems.
