Resilient GPS-Independent PNT in Support of Proliferated LEO Constellations

TrustPoint, Inc. is developing a commercial GPS alternative by combining patented signal and microsatellite technology to provide secure, high-accuracy Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services. TrustPoint’s ground network of transceivers will both monitor our constellation’s signals and broadcast GPS-like ranging signals from the ground to our microsatellites to provide time transfer and position updates to our constellation. This GPS-independent capability, “Low Earth Orbit Navigation System” (LEONS), could be extended to provide Alternative PNT to other commercial and U.S. Government assets, especially those in Proliferated LEO Constellations.
