Resilience Testing for Alternative PNT Systems

Develop and validate layered positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems for GNSS-denied and contested environments. Keysight enables simulation of alternative PNT (also referred to as complementary PNT) technologies including inertial systems, low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite signals, and custom waveform generation in L and S bands to support mission assurance.

Simulating Alternative PNT Signals in the Lab

Modern resilient PNT architectures rely on diverse navigation sources beyond GPS. Engineers must evaluate complementary PNT systems including inertial sensors, sensor fusion, LEO PNT, and other signals of opportunity. Keysight provides advanced simulation capabilities for testing performance from the lab to the field.
