Introducing the Time-Range Coherence Processor (TRCP)

Navigtr's product is the Time-Range Coherence Processor (TRCP) — an embedded multi-processor system-on-chip that integrates hardware timestamping, disciplined oscillators (clocks), and RF signal processing to maintain nanosecond-level timing alignment and centimeter-class positioning across heterogeneous fleets without persistent GPS.


The TRCP sits beneath the autonomy stack. It does not compete with AI, sensors, or autonomy software. It constrains the drift those systems naturally accumulate and cannot self-correct. If the autonomy stack could correct drift, it would not rely on GPS in the first place. Four mechanisms work together to do this:


•   Hardware timestamping at the physical layer delivers deterministic, modelable timing that software cannot replicate.

•   Two-Way Time Transfer (TWTT) allows nodes to exchange timing and range observables over any available link — cellular, military mesh, or satellite — constraining clock offset and inter-platform distance simultaneously.

•   Ranging derived from TWTT and ambient RF signals provides precise positioning data.

•   Proprietary algorithms fuse all three mechanisms with oscillator-aware, adaptive covariance estimation.

 

The result is a fleet that gets more precise as it grows. Every additional node adds constraints. Navigation becomes a network effect. 


In production, the TRCP is designed to work with clocks already present in autonomous and automotive platforms — no hardware modifications are required to support it. The architecture is explicitly designed for what is already in cars and trucks.
