Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology is a cornerstone for numerous sectors, including transportation, communication, finance, agriculture, and public safety. It provides accurate and reliable location and time information, ensuring these critical infrastructures’ seamless operation and efficient management. The advent of multi-Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the US’s GPS, Russia’s GLONASS, China’s BeiDou, and the EU’s Galileo, along with regional systems like Japan’s QZSS and India’s IRNSS, has significantly advanced PNT services, marking a new era in their development. Furthermore, emerging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) PNT systems are poised to enhance PNT resilience in urban environments and offer better protection against GNSS jamming and spoofing.
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the wide-ranging PNT technologies based on satellite navigation. We invite original research articles and reviews that delve into various aspects, including but not limited to constellations, signals, orbit determination, PNT theory, algorithms, models, and their applications in engineering and Earth sciences, as well as multi-sensor integration.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Integrated PNT;
- Resilient PNT;
- Micro PNT Technology;
- Secure PNT;
- GNSS PPP and PPP-RTK;
- GNSS Timing;
- GNSS Orbiting Determination and Modeling;
- GNSS Atmospheric Sensing;
- GNSS Ionosphere and Space Weather;
- Integrated Navigation and Smart Applications;
- Satellite Navigation countermeasure;
- Future LEO-PNT Systems;
- Broadband PNT Constellations (Signal of Opportunity);
- LEO Precise Orbit Determination (POD).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
