Abstract

This document presents a summary of holdover atomic clock technology in the UK as a baseline to help support future development of UK sovereign commercial holdover atomic clock manufacturing capabilities. These holdover clocks would serve primarily in UK positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) applications, including provisions for UK CNI. This document summarises timing requirements and standards across several application sectors (present and future), the current progress on atomic clock development in the UK and the current state of UK supply chains and industrial capabilities. At the end of this report, we describe our view of the essential elements of a coordinated UK Holdover Clock development programme required to enable the necessary provisions for the UKs national timing centre (NTC), future national timing infrastructure and UK CNI end users.
