The two biggest challenge using GPS precise time in critical applications is that so many things can corrupt the signal after it leaves the satellite and before it gets to the user.

At the National PNT Advisory Board meeting on the 28th of June, iPosi and UrsaNav gave a thought provoking presentation on how combining GPS and eLoran with an additional message in the signal could solve that. They claim that it would provide “traceable, tamper-proof” time. They are so confident that they have apparently trademarked the phrase “Trusted Time.”

This could be a major cyber-security advance as it could virtually eliminate denial of service and deception for both time and location.

Here is their presentation.

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.
