Significant, cost-effective improvement is introduced for Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) on a global basis, particularly enhancing the performance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), an example of which is the Global Positioning System (GPS). The solution significantly improves performance metrics including the accuracy, integrity, time to acquire, interference rejection, and spoofing protection. A constellation of small satellites employing a low-cost architecture combined with improved signal processing yields an affordable enabler for spectrum-efficient transportation mobility. As air traffic management modernization transitions to a greater dependence on satellite positioning, the solution provides aviation users new protections from both intentional and unintentional interference to navigation and surveillance. And in response to an era in which intelligent transportation is under development for automobiles, reliable where-in-lane positioning enables new applications in connected and autonomous vehicles. New military capability increases PNT availability.
