What project 119 buys
The Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)project uniquely engages with the Services, Combatant Commands, and our federal partners on critical S&T initiatives to develop emerging PNT technology, sources, and countering small unmanned system threats to our military forces and installations across all domains and all threat environments. Work in this project explores PNT technology and solution needs across the domains of Air, Land, Sea (surface and undersea), and Space, and enables development and maturation of new transitionable maps, sensors, data fusion hubs, and integration techniques targeting GPS-denied or GPS-degraded environments include navigation-quality magnetic anomaly maps and sensors; augmented space-based, non-GPS satellite navigation and time distribution, platform and mission tailored alternative PNT fusion solutions, and best practices for alternative PNT integration through software and hardware. These activities support multiple, new critical technology areas in Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)).
Project 119 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 0.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 0.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 113.0 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 57.0 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 57.0 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 0.0 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 0.0 |

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
- Develop, design, and deliver trusted navigation and timing data, resilient augmented PNT systems, and receivers to enable trusted use of all viable non-GPS, space-based signals for PNT, which enables use of precise time and positioning from multiple constellations. - Mature and rapidly integrate MOSA-compliant sensors tailored to…
