Background -- DOD has identified several categories of threats to GPS -- Military services are developing alternative PNT capabilities, but some efforts have incomplete acquisition business cases -- DOD has a PNT oversight structure, but has not set clear objectives for alternative PNT-- Conclusions -- Recommendations for executive action -- Agency comments and our evaluation -- Appendices. |
| Summary |
DOD primarily relies on GPS for accurate PNT data, which is essential to effective military operations. However, multiple threats can render GPS data unavailable or inaccurate. DOD recognizes the threats to GPS and is taking steps to address them by developing more robust GPS capabilities and alternative PNT technologies. This report discusses (1) the threats facing GPS; (2) DOD's alternative PNT efforts and their business cases; and (3) DOD's oversight of its PNT portfolio. This is a public version of a sensitive report that GAO issued in April 2022. GAO recommends that the Secretary of the Navy ensure the Navy's alternative PNT efforts have complete business case elements, such as an acquisition strategy. GAO also recommends that the PNT Oversight Council establish strategic objectives and metrics to measure the progress of its PNT portfolio overall. |
