    Brief

    The Royal Navy seeks to develop and deploy robust Alternative Precise Navigation and Timing (Alt PNT) technologies to maintain operational resilience in GNSS-Denied and Degraded Environments (D2E). Modern conflicts, particularly in southeast Europe and the Middle East, demonstrate that Global Navigation Satellite Signals (GNSS) are vulnerable to disruption. This opportunity addresses the critical need for reliable navigation and timing solutions that can augment classical positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities during conflict or signal degradation. Suppliers should propose innovative Alt PNT technologies that enable the Navy to operate effectively when GNSS is unavailable or unreliable. This requirement has been assessed as Cyber Risk Level 1, indicating comprehensive cybersecurity considerations apply.
