Blog Editor’s Note:  We posted on this incident several days ago, but this article provides more detail on the event that should be of interest to our readers.  Things like services impacted, the nature of the attack, etc.

It also makes the point that you don’t need to impact the satellites or even the signals to deny services.  Another point in favor of users always accessing multiple sources of PNT.

Congrats to Garmin for getting backup and operating so quickly!

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.
