Positioning, Navigation and Timing - PNT | L3Harris® Fast. Forward.

The Power of PNT

If you’ve ever sent a text message or used a map app on your smartphone, you are familiar with this technology. Both are possible due to the power of the Global Positioning System (GPS) – the primary and often sole source for PNT data.

In the military, PNT technology supports everything from combat aircraft, warships and weapons systems, to individual soldiers on the ground – making it a prime target for adversaries.

Meaning if anything were to disrupt this technology, the outcome would be catastrophic.

Protecting PNT

As PNT technology advances, concerns of adversaries disrupting, denying access to, and/or spoofing military assets with misleading information continue to grow. We recognize this reality and are responding with PNT solutions that provide superior system security, greater accuracy and even better reliability for users worldwide.

As a trusted sustainment engineering services provider, we also deliver space operator training, enterprise architectures and warfighter decision support tools at the operational and tactical levels. We use responsive solutions to provide persistent coverage and resiliency in space for ISR missions to protect our nation’s valuable assets and lives.

NTS-3

L3Harris’ Navigation Technology Satellite 3 (NTS-3) is the first integrated satellite navigation experiment in almost 50 years, since NTS-1 and NTS-2 paved the way for the current GPS constellation. The end-to-end experimental satellite is poised to transform all three segments of a space-based PNT enterprise: space, control and ground.
