Without PNT, autonomy is unreliable and unsafe, making PNT - and the protection of its infrastructures - a critical priority.
PNT infrastructure includes national mapping agencies and other geospatial organisations. There are multiple threats to PNT - jamming, spoofing and an increasingly crowded radio frequency spectrum - but technologies are being developed to protect against these threats.
In this presentation, we will discuss these threats and how to protect against them. We'll outline the economic consequences of vulnerable infrastructure and how assured PNT limits these risks.
