Join Dr. Arun Seraphin for a conversation with Dana Goward, President of the Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation. Goward shares insights into the critical vulnerabilities of GPS and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies, highlighting the challenges facing U.S. national security. The discussion covers topics such as international PNT strategies and technological alternatives, including global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) like China’s BeiDou and Russia’s GLONASS, as well as Europe’s Galileo network. The conversation also examines defense infrastructure resilience, potential GPS disruption risks, and the urgent need for a comprehensive national PNT architecture that can protect against electronic warfare and cyber threats.
