RNT Foundation First Annual Meeting a Success

April 23, 2014

Written by Editor

The Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation’s leadership was pleased to welcome members to the foundation’s first Annual Meeting and Dinner last night at the Metropolitan Club in Washington, DC. Life member, Admiral Thad Allen (USCG ret), one of the newest members of the National PNT Advisory Board, provided his insights on our need for improved PNT governance and how to Protect, Toughen, and Augment navigation and timing systems to improve resilience. Members had the opportunity to openly discuss issues with ADM Allen, including the need for refined and focused public messaging on resilience issues. The very strong alignment between the Foundation’s goals and recommendations being made by the National PNT Advisory Board was quite apparent.

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don’t see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it’s exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn’t a feature — it’s the foundation everything else depends on.
