How much do you trust and rely on your personal GPS satellite navigation device to tell where you are or how to get to where you’re going? It may be subject to GPS jamming.

If you depend on GPS a lot, then there’s a good chance your trust is misplaced — and that’s just for finding a friend’s house, a restaurant, or the newest trendy bar.

Experts are starting to delve into how well the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite navigation network resists the effects of electronic jamming — intentional or accidental. The emerging answer is not very well.

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.
