Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Integrated Mission Delta (Provisional) (PNT IMD (P)) is a United States Space Force unit responsible for positioning, navigation, and timing operations, acquisitions, and sustainment. It was activated on 13 October 2023.
History
[edit]In September 2023, General B. Chance Saltzman introduced the integrated mission delta (IMD) construct which combines functions, like operations, acquisitions, intelligence, and cyber effects, into specific mission areas, including positioning, navigation, and timing. Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Integrated Mission Delta (Provisional) was one of two initial units announced to test the construct. These IMDs mission generation, intelligence support, and cyber defense.[3]
On 13 October 2023, PNT IMD (P) was established at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, with Colonel Andrew S. Menschner as its first commander.[4] On 16 October 2023, the Logistics and Operations Support Squadron (Provisional) was activated to provide operations support services and modifications to all GPS satellite constellation fielded ground and satellite systems.[5]
