GNSS/GPS Expert Logan Scott Joins RNT Foundation Advisory Council

November 14, 2022

Written by Editor

We are very pleased to welcome Logan Scott to our International Advisory Council. He has long been one of our most trusted sources and we are very glad to make the relationship a bit more official!

Logan Scott has over 40 years of military and civil GPS systems engineering experience. He is a consultant specializing in radio frequency signal processing and waveform design.

At Texas Instruments, he pioneered approaches for building high-performance, jamming-resistant digital receivers and adaptive arrays.  At Omnipoint (now T-Mobile), he developed spectrum sharing techniques that led to a Pioneer’s preference award from the FCC.

Logan has been an active advocate for improved civil GPS location assurance for over 20 years and was the first to describe how civil navigation signals could be authenticated using delayed key concepts central to the Chimera signal.

For the past 6 years he has been developing advanced signal concepts for NTS-3, AFRL, and the University of Colorado. He has also been active in developing LEO system architectures.

Logan is a Fellow of the Institute of Navigation and a Senior Member of IEEE. In 2018 he received the GPS World Signals award. He is the author of “Interference: Origins, Effects, and Mitigation” in PNT21 and holds 46 US patents.

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.
