The InfNav w/o GNSS project is part of the EU’s sixth wave of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) initiatives, approved in May 2025. Coordinated by Germany with Italy and the Netherlands as partners, the project addresses the critical need for dismounted soldier navigation when satellite-based systems are unavailable.
