The Compact Modular Open Systems Standards Mounted Form Factor card is intended to provide resilient navigation for ground vehicles, including robotic and autonomous platforms. Paired with an external antenna, the solution showed strong performance in a denied and degraded GPS environment.
“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,” said Sandy Brown, vice president and general manager of Mission Critical Products at Collins Aerospace. “The smaller form factor allows for faster mission customization and improved situational awareness.”
During the experiment, the APNT system maintained assured navigation despite the presence of numerous jammers and spoofers. By using Military-code GPS alongside internal and external organic sensors, the system fused multiple data sources to sustain connectivity even without reliable GPS signals.
All-Domain Persistent Experiment serves as the U.S. Army’s open-air environment for testing capabilities in denied, degraded, intermittent and limited conditions. The initiative is designed to advance sensor technologies, networks, data processing, positioning, navigation and timing, and electronic warfare systems.
