The US Army's combat capabilities development directorate is seeking industry input on an Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT) capability specifically designed for dismounted operations.

Officials from the research and technology integration directorate at the service's Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center are seeking A-PNT solutions that “require a low size, weight, and power design, in order to reduce the burden on the dismounted soldiers”, according to a 28 March White Paper solicitation.

“Current [US] Army systems rely on a level of PNT provided by GPS. However, due to electromagnetic interference hazards, access to GPS could be disrupted, degraded, and/or denied” particularly when in use by ground units conducting dismounted operations, the solicitation stated.
