The Need for Resilient PNT Services to Ensure Safe and Secure Transportation Infrastructure
 
Sponsor: Microchip
Date: Oct. 22
 
Summary: Over the past two decades, transportation-critical infrastructure sectors have widely adopted the use of GNSS-derived PNT to support their safety-critical operations. GNSS PNT’s extreme position and timing accuracy enables significant capacity and efficiency improvements, and this accuracy has been a primary driver for this evolution. However, the availability, integrity and continuity of PNT services are essential to maintain the safety and security of these systems and its users. This webinar will explore how GNSS is used by the transportation industry and discuss emerging strategies to build in monitoring, security and resiliency to provide an assured PNT framework.
 
Speakers:
Guy Buesnel, CPhys, MInstP, FRIN PNT security technologist, Spirent
Greg Wolff, senior product line manager, frequency and time systems, Microchip
Mitch Narins, principal consultant and owner, Strategic Synergies
