The recent C4ADS report on GPS spoofing in Russia and the Middle East provided a number of interesting and new revelations. One of which was that GPS interference can be detected from space.

Working with a sensor aboard the International Space Station, a team lead by Prof. Todd Humphrey’s of the University of Texas and Dr. Scott Budzien of the Naval Research Laboratory were able to detect and geo-locate a disruption source to within 10km. Here is a presentation on how it was done.

RNT Foundation believes this holds great promise for navigation and user safety world-wide. We have engaged with the US government in an effort to establish a global common-operational picture of GPS disruptions to help users protect themselves.

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.
