Abstract

As dependence on GPS-based PNT services increases, there is an increasing need to enable PNT systems that complement GPS with other sensors to endure in conditions where GPS is degraded or unavailable. With the plethora of complementary sensors and their varying trade-offs, a modular and adaptable system structure is the most sustainable approach. A key enabler to allow this type of development is a PNT information data standard. ASPN is a data standard that describes what PNT data should be exchanged for consistent usage and interoperability of PNT estimators across different systems, sources, and users. Under the current version, ASPN 2023 defines the message content of 53 PNT sensors to enable more agile development and usage of PNT systems that use complementary sources. Furthermore, ASPN 2023 is communitydeveloped with 162 participants across over 50 organizations across the US government, industry, and academia. ASPN 2023 hosts an ecosystem for sharing the data model, creating experimental versions of the data model, as well as contributing community-developed tools and solutions.
