Resilience, Timing and Trust: What Munich Revealed About the Future of PNT
Resilience, authentication, complementary systems and timing assurance were among the critical issues covered at this year’s Munich Space Summit, where colleagues from both sides of the Atlantic came together to help define what a resilient PNT future looks like.
The Munich Space Summit remains one of the premier gatherings on the European space calendar, showcasing the accomplishments of leading industry players and policymakers. The Americans show up, too.
Despite current geopolitical strains, Europeans and Americans in the PNT and space communities continue to meet as collaborators, colleagues and, in many cases, longstanding friends. Conferences such as the Munich Space Summit are stronger for that transatlantic exchange.
