“The Atlantic”… “The New Yorker”… “The Christian Science Monitor”… “The Economist”…NPR’s radio shows “Science Friday” and “Here and Now”… “The National Space-based PNT Advisory Board”… the new book “Pinpoint – How GPS is changing technology, culture and our minds”…

– all have tried to bring the problem of GPS as a single point of failure into the general public’s consciousness.

Now darkly humorous Alan Cameron, editor of “GPS World” magazine, proposes that a blockbuster disaster movie is really needed to wake up America.

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.
