GPS base PNT has truly change our world, from US DoD Command and Control to commercial Internet of Things (IoT), we have become very dependent on a reliable source of position and accurate time reference. However, GNSS signals may be unreliable and susceptible to jamming/spoofing. Additionally, many applications require much greater accuracy and reliability than current GNSS systems by themselves provide.Our solution, escPNT, is based on a robust, tested, and deployed product.It is a light-weight and affordable solution for platforms that require highly accurate position without the weight/size and high cost of many other PNT products. The initial target market for this version of the product is commercial small UAS (and military/defense applications that may not mandate Milspec requirements) as well as automotive industry and other markets.In order to provide a more resilient/secure PNT in GPS denied environments, our product will include new features as add-on options to meet specific client needs.Some add-on features will include:- alternate space networks (i.e. Iridium Next (STL)) to provide increased security, mitigation to jamming/spoofing, increased comm bandwidth, - future terrestrial positioning networks (eLorean)- Highly accurate IMU and Atomic Clocks- Terrain following systems (i.e. Lockheed Martin NorthStar)
