The PNT Standards Consortium was formed in 2026 by Founders IS4S, Leidos, and TRX Systems to develop and maintain the Consortium PNT standards to meet the ever-evolving needs of the positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) community.

A 501c6 not-for-profit membership organization, the Consortium aims transition the ownership and custodianship of new and existing PNT standards to a more collaborative setting of industry, government and academia for greater standards integrity and ecosystem adoption.
