What’s new: A recent report from Australian think tank FrontierSI.
Why it is important: It is an extensive and thorough report focused on Australian PNT – but it also applies to the U.S. and any other nation that over-relies on GNSS (i.e. does not have a resilient PNT architecture).
What else to know: FrontierSI has created several great PNT reference documents. Visit them at https://frontiersi.com.au/ and search for “PNT.”
ANCHOR report reveals Australia’s vulnerabilities
By jnally on 18 February, 2026
A new report from FrontierSI outlines ways in which to strengthen Australia’s positioning, timing and navigation (PNT) ecosystem to deal with threats and vulnerabilities.
The ANCHOR (Australia’s Navigation and Timing Challenges on Hazards, Operations, and Resilience) report is aimed squarely at governments, the defence establishment and authorities responsible for critical infrastructure and PNT systems.
However, it should also serve as a wake-up call for the wider geospatial community, particularly those who depend upon positioning services — from surveyors in the field to farmers using automatic steering systems in their fields.
