Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) has been named the new Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. He has made it clear that his focus will be mostly on infrastructure. We think that includes things like the infrastructure needed to enable Intelligent Transportation Systems, Automated Vehicles, safe drone navigation, etc.

We are pretty sure he agrees with us. Here is a clip of him talking about it at a hearing in 2015.

 

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don't see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it's exactly what your country needs right now. 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.
