Resilient PNT Concept Frame

Abstract

The concept of resilient positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) is described. The definition of resilient PNT is given, the relationship between integrated (or comprehensive) PNT and resilient PNT is analyzed, and it is pointed out that the integrated PNT is the foundation of resilient PNT. Resilient PNT should be divided into resilient sensor integration, resilient functional model and resilient stochastic model. The strategy and principles of resilient integration of sensors are discussed. The resilient integration of sensors should be designed following the optimal, available, compatible and interoperable principles. The concepts of resilient functional model and possible modification strategies of the different functional models are also described. Several possible optimal routes for resilient stochastic model improvements are also set forth. It is pointed out that the optimal improvements of stochastic models for multi PNT sources should follow the same variance scale. At last, the resilient PNT data fusion for state parameters are given based on the resilient functional and stochastic models.
