As the Joint Force becomes increasingly connected, driven by the demands of modern battle management, collaborative autonomy, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and distributed electronic warfare, PNT and communications services are on path toward convergence. This panel will provide insights into the opportunities, challenges and potential presented by the convergence of communications and PNT services; and explore the alternatives to traditional GNSS and include discussions on applications, technical means, performance, service offerings, anticipated start of services, and shaping of services to yield military unique capabilities. Space-based CAA-PNT, satellite Signals of Opportunity (SoOP), and bespoke/modified satellite sources of GNSS will be discussed.
