Military Communications & Positioning, Navigation and Timing (MILCOM & PNT) is a program executive office within Space Systems Command that develops, produces, delivers, and sustains space-enabled military communications as well as the Global Positioning System (GPS) used by U.S. military, allied nations, and civilians worldwide.

Mission Areas

Satellite Communications (SATCOM)

• Narrowband: Keeps warfighters connected via ultra-high frequency (UHF) that cuts through weather, dense foliage, and urban canyons for continual battlespace awareness and targeting.

• Tactical: Moves data into the fight with high-capacity X- and Ka-band for video, targeting, logistics and Command & Control (C2) plus modern anti-jam capabilities to fight interference, denial, and deception.

• Strategic: Guarantees secure, survivable, and endurable global Nuclear Command, Control & Communications (NC3) through all phases of conflict.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

• Replacing older GPS satellites with next-gen technology that increases accuracy and anti-jam capability.

• Upgrading user equipment to accommodate M-Code, a stronger, more secure, jam-resistant GPS signal.
