ION’s JNC brings industry together to solve PNT challenges
Reliable access to PNT is critical for the warfighter, but that’s becoming more difficult as threats like jamming and spoofing continue to grow.

GMV NSL Ltd and Thales Alenia Space have presented the results of the NAVISP EL1 034 project, ‘AI-Enabled Baseband Algorithms For High-Fidelity Measurements’ (AlnGNSS). Using selected AI-enabled algorithms, the project demonstrated some significant improvements in PVT performance compared to conventional GNSS PVT methods. However, the overall impact of AI was not substantial.

Low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations offer a new avenue for assuring PNT. With satellites closer to the Earth, they provide stronger signals and improved positioning accuracy with rapidly changing geometry. They complement GNSS resiliency, security and precision for PNT, making LEO an attractive alternative PNT option for the industry to pursue.

Space is a mess. That according to the European Space Agency (ESA), which estimates there are 36,500 pieces of space debris orbiting the earth of greater than 10cm in size, and one million pieces between 1cm and 10cm. The number of smaller yet still dangerous objects is too staggering to contemplate.
