Position, Navigation and Timing

Dr. Robert Lutwak joined the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) in September 2013 as a Program Manager for the miniature position, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology portfolio. His primary field of interest is the development of compact low-cost components and systems providing “PNT everywhere” for increased battlefield awareness and cooperative engagement.

Mr. Lin Haas joined DARPA in 2012 as a Program Manager for the Strategic Technology Office. His main program interests are in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) and geolocation technologies, particularly in GPS-denied or degraded environments. Mr. Haas received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Roanoke College, Masters of Science degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Virginia, and Masters of Science in Management from Marymount University.

DARPA is seeking innovative ideas and disruptive technologies that offer the potential for significant capability improvement across the Strategic Technology Office focus areas. This includes technology development related to Battle Management, Command and Control (BMC2), Communications and Networks, Electronic Warfare, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), Maritime, and Foundational Strategic Technologies and Systems.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) is seeking to support innovative ideas relevant both to the commercial sector and to Department of Defense (DoD) applications.

This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing MTO programs or other published solicitations.
