What’s new: The US and UK have signed the “Technology Prosperity Deal.” PNT was one of the areas mentioned, though only briefly.

Why it’s important: Any mention of PNT at this level of government is a good sign. Hopefully it is evidence of increased awareness and concern.

What else to know: While PNT was mentioned, the area of cooperation is listed as “timing resilience.”

  • Positioning, Navigation and Timing
    Affirming their shared dependencies on certain critical infrastructure, the Participants intend to enhance cooperation on initiatives to improve timing resilience.

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

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.
