Satellite Positions, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Technology

Satellite PNT technology determines precise geographical location or position, navigates the route, and accurately tracks exact time. The position, navigation, and timing is derived from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) onboard the communication satellite.

The primary function of PNT is to improve the performance of GNSS by providing information about the accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability of its signals for geo-location and navigation applications.

Initially, the position, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology was introduced to supplement military and defense operations. However, PNT technology has become crucial for commercial, government, and civil operations over the years.

Currently, government agencies and private companies operating in the global satellite position, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology market are engaged in research and development initiatives to offer assured position, navigation, and timing technology (A-PNT).

Satellite PNT Technology Industry Overview

The global satellite position, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology market is valued at $961.7 million in 2020 and it is estimated to reach $8,817.3 million by 2031, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.45% during the forecast period 2021-2031. The major factor driving the market growth is the need for resilient navigation, positioning, and timing data for everyday applications in the commercial and defense sector.
