The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Defence Investment Plan, published on 30 June 2026, paragraph 25, by when he will deliver enhanced resilience to the provision of Position, Navigation and Timing data.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Through funding allocated in the Defence Investment Plan to the Digital Targeting Web, Defence will undertake a range of programmes to continue providing Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) resilience to the Integrated Force.

These programmes will build upon the existing PNT programme. This includes the Robust Global Navigation System project, which is in delivery, and the Alternative Navigation project which is in its assessment phase.
