Government and Industry Collaboration

The notice is part of a broader Army push to acquire assured PNT solutions for soldiers on the future battlefield.

Product Manager Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Modernization hosts weekly PNT related technical overviews of newly registered OIL vendors for multiple stakeholders to encourage capability and technology sharing. PM PNT, Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing/Space Cross-Functional Team (A-PNT/S CFT), Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) PNT Division, Army Applications Lab (AAL), and other stakeholders participate. Following these briefings, an internal Government stakeholder debrief session is held to consolidate feedback for vendors and technologies. That feedback is documented and shared, along with potential paths forward for meeting Army requirements and future opportunities. Since these engagements have begun, there has been a 3x increase in compliance with open standards across PNT vendors.  

If you have a PNT-relevant technology/capability and have yet to register through the Open Innovation Lab, visit PNT Modernization’s OIL website to register: https://apntoil.army.mil/
