The General Accountability Office (GAO) released a somewhat scathing report about Department of Defense navigation programs this month.

Among their findings and inferences were:

Navigation requirements for projects and systems are often overstated with managers just defaulting to GPS accuracy requirements
Resilience is not a requirement for navigation systems in many cases
Alternate (non-GPS) navigation systems are not a priority for the department, and are actively opposed in some instances
There is a lack of coordination across the department on alternate PNT systems

The Institute of Navigation and the RNT Foundation will host a webinar on the 15th of June featuring two of the report’s authors.

Attendance is open to the public and free, but advance registration is required.

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.
