Military PNT 2020 to Discuss PNT Resilience, Robustness and Security

London, United Kingdom, September 03, 2020 –(PR.com)– It’s clear that there is a growing need for more resilient, robust and secure PNT, given that more sophisticated jamming and spoofing techniques are being implemented by adversaries, and estimates predict that a 30-day GPS outage could cost US industry as much as $45bn.

With this in mind, Military PNT 2020 will focus on enhancing the resilience and capability of warfighting PNT systems, with a number of presentations dedicated to PNT resilience, robustness and security, including:

1) Combination of Constellations as a Means to Provide Resilient PNT

· Evolution of NATO operations – the growth of reliance on space systems and PNT
· NAVWAR doctrines and asymmetrical threats: what this means for NATO operation in degraded environments
· Combination of GPS and Galileo as a means to provide more frequencies and a greater number of satellite data sources to improve overall PNT service
· Overcoming PNT challenges – either by user or geographical requirements

Lieutenant Colonel Tim Vasen, Space SME, C4ISR & Space Branch, Joint Airpower Competence Centre (JAPCC)

2) DGA Requirements for Future Secured Access to PNT

· PNT and its role in supporting the warfighter – why it is important
· Integrating anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities into resilient and secure systems
· Alternative sources for PNT data for denied environment operations
· Future requirements for robust capabilities

Commandant Marina Ballanger, Head of Navigation, Technical Division, DGA

3) PNT Resilience: A Legal Perspective

· Spoofing and jamming of GNSS signals are a growing concern for deployed
· GNSS are very vulnerable due to the low power of signals
· Military operations however have to rely on PNT
· Case studies of recent GNSS spoofing and jamming cases both in military and civil domains
· Legal framework applicable to spoofing and jamming on national and international (ITU and UN) level

Dr. Ingo Baumann, Attorney at Law & Partner, BHO Legal
