What’s new: An interesting short video that posits composite/multi-sensor navigation is not only the wave of the future, but is just about here.
Why it’s important: It’s good to get folks thinking seriously about this as soon as possible because:
- For three or more decades most folks have been using single source GPS,
- Multi-source systems are more expensive,
- Change is hard.
What else to know:
- We couldn’t find much about the video’s producer, Ave World. We are not sure of their credentials nor their relationship with the PNT community. .
- The video gets lots of things right, but some things that should be correct are wrong.
- This might have been created by AI. It kinda has that “feel.”
Goodbye GPS? The Next Big Leap After Beidou! – Ave World on YouTube
Imagine a world where your smartphone can’t find its way, self-driving cars drift off course, and planes reroute mid-flight. That’s not science fiction—it’s the very real threat posed by the vulnerabilities of GPS. In this deep-dive documentary, we explore:
✅ The hidden weaknesses of the U.S. GPS system
✅ The explosive rise of jamming & spoofing attacks (up 500% in aviation!)
✅ China’s BeiDou: a powerful, global alternative to GPS
✅ The rise of low Earth orbit satellite systems (Starlink, Kuiper, LEOPT)
✅ Quantum navigation and the next frontier of unhackable positioning
✅ How Wi-Fi, 5G, and terrestrial signals are shaping local navigation
✅ The geopolitical race to control navigation—and time itself
🛰 GPS was once the gold standard. But the future is multi-layered, resilient, and global—from space-based constellations to quantum sensors and terrestrial networks.
🔍 Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, policymaker, developer, or just curious about what keeps your world on track—this is the video you need to watch.
