MOUNTED ASSURED POSITIONING, NAVIGATION, AND TIMING (PNT) SYSTEM (MAPS)

Description

The MAPS enables mounted Army forces to shoot, move, and communicate in GPS challenged environments. It Assures PNT through integrity checks of, and access to multiple integrated, modular, lean, layered PNT sources. MAPS fuses Assured PNT (APNT) sources and then distributes APNT data to on-board client systems. MAPS is a Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S) Program of Record (POR).

Benefit to the Soldier

The MAPS enables mounted maneuver operations with audacity, combat power, tempo, and momentum in GPS challenged environments.
