Abstract

ABSTRACT: SBIR topic AF141-253 seeks disruptive navigation architectures, specifically, new concepts for next-generation position, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems. The solicitation seeks game-changing capability, and encourages disruptive thinking by eliminating requirements for backwards compatibility. Applied Minds, LLC (AMI) proposes to draw upon our prior technologies and experience to design (in Phase I) and prototype (in Phase II) an autonomous positioning system that we call Position Always, which will detect which positioning technologies are available, and use any available method to obtain location information. Our proposed solution will seek to fulfill some of the game-changing scenarios described in the SBIR topic, such as operate in a completely RF-jammed environment, operate without access to space assets, and use existing natural or man-made radiation sources as fiduciaries. At this time, AMI proposes a 9-month Phase I effort to design and specify a Position Always capability. BENEFIT: Anticipated benefits of the Position Always solution include greatly improved location identification capability in the field, improved collaborative sharing of information and resources, and integration with other PNT solutions.
