> **NEW START.** $113.0M requested in FY2027 with no prior-year and no current-year funding.

## Summary

This activity requests $113.0M in FY2027, 100% of project 119 — a new start with no prior-year and no current-year money. The R-2A exhibit describes it across FY2027, including what the FY2027 money is planned to buy.

## What the FY2027 request buys

**FY2027 planned work.** - 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 platforms and for domain-specific requirements to establish an alternative PNT technology and capability pipeline for end users. - Collect authoritative data and develop more accurate methods to provide navigation-quality magnetic anomaly mapping products for key areas of interest. - Develop and deliver methods to account for platform interference for magnetometers to enable rapid magnetic anomaly navigation transition to operations. - Begin experimentation and evaluation of hardware and software integration techniques of PNT technology, sensors, and solutions to meet platform mission critical and safety requirements.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** The increase of $113.000 million between FY 2026 and FY 2027 reflects additional assessment/analysis of alternative PNT technologies.

## Funding
