Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Systems Development

The contract titled Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Systems Development seeks to advance resilient technologies capable of maintaining accurate positioning, navigation, and timing in environments where GPS signals are denied, jammed, or spoofed. It focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of alternative methods such as inertial navigation systems, celestial navigation cues, and terrain-based positioning, integrated with robust anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities to ensure operational continuity under adversarial conditions. The goal is to deliver systems that are reliable, precise, and deployable in high-threat military scenarios where traditional satellite-based navigation is compromised. This subcontract is issued under the Department of Defense through the agency W6QK Acc-apg, with performance centered at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The solicitation was posted on April 23, 2026, and responses are due by June 1, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. The North American Industry Classification System code 334511, which corresponds to navigational, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments manufacturing, indicates the technical nature and industrial category of the work. The project demands specialized expertise in embedded systems, sensor fusion, and signal integrity, targeting innovation in assured PNT to support mission-critical defense operations.
