RFI Assured Positioning, Timing & Navigation (A-PNT)
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is seeking better insight into the pricing and availability of Assured Positioning, Timing & Navigation (A-PNT) systems through an RFI (Request for Information). These systems combine signals from multiple GNSS and non-GNSS PNT sensors, including military GPS (SAASM/M-CODE), future Galileo support, inertial navigation, and timing. The emphasis is on the ability to resist jamming and spoofing, which is essential for defensive operations. The MoD wishes to explore the market to plan a phased procurement at a later stage, mapping both the technical specifications and the delivery capacity of suppliers. The RFI focuses on a broad, international market and expects a detailed pricing and delivery analysis, including future scalability and integration with existing military systems.

In its ambition to improve its operations and organisation by better use of information, the Netherlands Ministry of Defence (NLD MoD) is aiming to get a better understanding of the pricing and availability of a so-called Assured Positioning, Timing and Navigation (A-PNT) systems which have the ability to combine the signals of multiple GNSS and non-GNSS PNT sensors (including military GPS (SAASM/M-CODE), future growth potential for Galileo, Inertial Navigation and timing), and which are resilient to jamming and spoofing.
02Exclusion grounds
- No specific exclusion grounds were extracted. In a European tender, the mandatory and discretionary grounds of art. 2.86/2.87 of the Dutch Procurement Act almost always apply — check the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD).
