Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX, has demonstrated its latest anti-jam Assured Positioning Navigation and Timing (APNT) technology at the US Army’s All-Domain Persistent Experiment held at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
The company is said to have presented its most compact APNT ground solution to date, designed to support ground vehicles, including robotic and autonomous systems, with resilient navigation capabilities.

The Compact Modular Open Systems Standards (CMOSS) Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) card formed the core of the demonstration.
When used with an external antenna, the system maintained navigation functionality in environments where GPS signals were denied or degraded.
According to RTX, the APNT system continued to provide assured navigation despite interference from a significant number of jammers and spoofers during the experiment.
Collins Aerospace mission critical products general manager and vice president Sandy Brown said: “Our card provides highly precise navigation in contested environments, and a scalable, cost-effective solution that is ready now for integration on a variety of platforms.

By GlobalData“The smaller form factor allows for faster mission customization and improved situational awareness.”
The technology integrates Military-code GPS with both internal and external sensors, combining data from multiple sources to maintain connectivity for ground vehicles even when reliable GPS data is unavailable.
The demonstration took place as part of the US Army’s open-air experimentation environment.
This is intended to assess capabilities under denied/degraded, intermittent, and limited conditions for advancing sensor technologies, networks, data processing, positioning, navigation and timing (PNT), and electronic warfare systems.
