Journal of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (JPNT) serves as a premier platform for the dissemination of research findings, technological advancements, and applied practices in the field of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT). JPNT is dedicated to fostering the development of PNT technologies and applications that are critical to advancing Space Technology (ST) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT). As these fields continue to evolve, precise location and timing information becomes increasingly indispensable across various sectors, including everyday life applications, industry, defense, and science.

JPNT’s scope encompasses a broad array of topics within the PNT domain, including but not limited to:

• Satellite Navigation Systems: Advances in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS, QZSS, and IRNSS. The journal welcomes contributions on the development, enhancement, and application of these systems in various contexts.
• Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT): Innovations and research in APNT solutions that complement or augment satellite navigation, especially in environments where traditional GNSS signals are unavailable or unreliable.
• Inertial Navigation Systems: Exploration of inertial navigation technologies and their integration with other PNT solutions for improved accuracy and reliability.
• Time Synchronization: Studies and methodologies for achieving precise time synchronization, critical for a wide range of applications from telecommunications to financial systems.
• Image-Based Navigation: Advancements in image-based navigation techniques and their applications in autonomous vehicles, drones, and other unmanned systems.
• Applications in Unmanned Vehicles and Drones: Cutting-edge research on the use of PNT technologies in the development and operation of smart cars, drones, unmanned vehicles, and other autonomous systems.
• PNT Infrastructure Development: Insights into the construction and enhancement of national and international PNT infrastructures, including the challenges of dependency on foreign systems and efforts towards developing indigenous solutions.

JPNT is committed to supporting the mission of IPNT to elevate South Korea’s PNT technology to world-class standards, promote academic scholarship, and advance industrial technology. JPNT aims to serve as a conduit for the exchange of professional knowledge among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers involved in the PNT field, contributing to the global body of knowledge and the advancement of the sector.

JPNT invites submissions of original research articles, review articles, technical papers, and short papers from academics, researchers, professionals, and policymakers. Through its publications, JPNT seeks to foster innovation, encourage academic exchange, and enhance the practical application of PNT technologies worldwide.
