US 2025/0116784 A1 · ASSURED POSITION, NAVIGATION, AND TIMING GNSS DENIED SOLUTION FOR A SATELLITE TERMINAL

Abstract

A position, navigation, and timing (PNT) system, a satellite terminal and methods for using the same are disclosed. In some embodiments, the satellite terminal includes: a plurality of receivers operable to receive a plurality of constellation signals having position and navigation information; position and timing systems; and an embedded position, navigation and timing (PNT) system coupled to the position and timing systems, the PNT system operable to receive the constellation signals and provide a transcoder output signal to the position and timing systems.
