The DAPS system is a \u201csingle source\u201d of Assured-Position, Navigation and Timing. It can work with the Army\u2019s new conformable battery \u2014 a body-fit battery that can power nearly all systems on a soldier\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soldiers spent several days on night operations in the Huachuca Mountains and then gave researchers feedback on how well the system worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5568\" height=\"3712\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/night-vision-dismount-GPSoriginal.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/night-vision-dismount-GPSoriginal.jpg.jpg 5568w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/night-vision-dismount-GPSoriginal.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/night-vision-dismount-GPSoriginal.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/night-vision-dismount-GPSoriginal.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/night-vision-dismount-GPSoriginal.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/night-vision-dismount-GPSoriginal.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5568px) 100vw, 5568px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sgt.

(Nicholas Robertson\/Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DAPS system is designed to provide PNT to the Nett Warrior system, a smartphone-based device, and other networked command and control equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSoldiers played a significant role in helping the Army develop a replacement for the legacy Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR),\u201d said Col. Dylan Randazzo, director of the Intelligence Electronic Warfare Test Directorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DAPS program kicked off in 2017 and was approved to move ahead as a DAGR replacement in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device hit initial operational capability this summer, according to the Army\u2019s Acquisition Support Center website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May, at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s Global Force Next conference, The director of the Army\u2019s Cross Functional Team-APNT, William Nelson, pointed out that PNT resiliency was paramount to all Army modernization efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The device is expected to replace the existing GPS
