What’s new: Lots of activity in Poland assessing the chronic GNSS interference from Russia and looking at countermeasures. The partnership between GPSPATRON and Gdynia Maritime University is a good example.

Why it’s important: The interference is coming from the Russian government in the nearby enclave of Kaliningrad. While users need to take precautions, it requires a coordinated response from government.

What else to know: Kaliningrad is a Russian outpost separated from the rest of the country.

Before WWII it was Prussian and German. After the war the Soviets annexed it and began populating it with Russians and people from Belarus.
It is 360nm further south that St Petersburg, Russia and its port is ice free more of the year.
Ships from Kaliningrad are also about a day and a half’s sailing closer to the open water of the North Sea or Atlantic than they would be at St Petersburg.
Its location also enables land-based Russian jammers and spoofers to impact a much greater area of northern Europe.

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.
