SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOT/RITA and OASD(NII), in coordination with 
other government agencies, have recently completed the development of a 
National Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Architecture. The 
Architecture establishes the vision of U.S. global leadership in PNT, a 
strategy to achieve the vision, major vectors within the strategy, and 
recommendations to implement the vectors. The Industry Day presents an 
opportunity for vendors to become familiar with the PNT Architecture, 
to understand how it incorporates industry perspectives, to make 
company perspectives known to the government, and to engage in 
discussion with the government regarding its plans to transition to the 
Architecture.
