Xona Space Systems is a space technology company and navigation solution provider pioneering a next-generation satellite navigation system. They are developing the PULSAR™ service, a LEO constellation of small satellites designed to deliver precise and secure positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services as an alternative to traditional GNSS like GPS. Xona's technology aims to improve accuracy, reliability, and security for autonomous systems and critical infrastructure, collaborating with partners like Trimble, US Space Force, and Safran. Associated keywords include: LEO PNT, satellite navigation, precision positioning, GNSS, and autonomous systems.
