The Astra solution is the first to offer a packaged positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) solution that combines a software-defined outdoor receiver with access to A-PNT broadcast services. It enhances connectivity resilience by processing signals from GNSS and alternative sources across different frequency bands. This capability allows for continuous connectivity and situational awareness, even in challenging environments where adversaries may interfere with spectrum. Designed to align with the military's Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency (PACE) communications plan, Astra ensures mission success by offering resilient communication options.
"Astra is a game-changer for defense users operating in difficult environments," said Kevin Steen, President and CEO of Eutelsat America Corp. and OneWeb Technologies. "Astra A-PNT ensures that mission-critical operations can continue seamlessly -- enhancing both connectivity and situational performance -- by providing a reliable alternative to traditional GPS/GNSS."
Key features of Astra include:
- Pairing with non-GNSS A-PNT broadcast services like Iridium
- Identifying the best PNT source and providing output signals compatible with the standard GPS L1 interface
- Maintaining robust PNT resilience in GNSS-compromised environments worldwide
