What’s new: An item about our colleague Ramsey’s comments in Munich and his important reminder to understand ALL the ways GPS impacts your systems, regardless of if you are in aviation, maritime, telecommunications, industrial production, or any other endeavor.

Why it’s important: Clever engineers have incorporated free and highly accurate (but vulnerable) into virtually every facet of modern life. Many of those ways are invisible to most people. They only find out about them when GPS signals are not available.

What else to know: NIST has guidelines to help individuals and organizations assess their use of PNT and vulnerabilities to disruption.

Ramsey Faragher Discusses Aviation Spoofing

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.
