Washington,
DC,
January
15,
2025
–(PR.com)– Access
to
positioning,
navigation,
and
timing
services
is
key
to
ensuring
the
proper
functioning
of
military
operations
and
weapons
systems
as
well
as
civilian
critical
infrastructures
across
industries
such
as
transportation,
banking,
and
emergency
services.
A
loss
of
PNT
services
would
result
in
billions
of
dollars
of
loss
and
pose
a
significant
national
security
risk.
To
support
the
integration
of
robust,
resilient
PNT
services
across
the
United
States,
the
5th
Annual
Assured
PNT
Summit
will
bring
together
members
of
the
military
services,
DoD,
federal
government,
industry,
and
academia
in
a
town-hall
style
forum
for
two
days
of
actionable
discussion,
networking,
and
technology
and
service
exhibitions.
Attendees
at
the
2025
Summit
will
learn
how
to
assure
the
availability,
security,
and
resiliency
of
PNT
sources
for
military,
civil,
and
commercial
users.
While
adversaries
have
advanced
their
PNT
enterprises
to
be
resilient
and
robust,
the
United
States
remains
dependent
upon
a
vulnerable
GPS
system.
Further,
adversaries
continue
to
spoof,
jam,
or
deny
access
to
PNT
services
American
military
and
citizens
use
every
day.
This
generates
a
strong
imperative
to
strengthen
GPS
security
and
integrate
alternative
and
complementary
PNT
sources
for
sustained
resiliency.
Speakers
at
the
5th
Annual
APNT
Summit
will
highlight
the
need
to
implement
the
Protect,
Toughen,
and
Augment
(PTA)
principle,
promote
anti-jam
and
spoofing
capabilities,
and
invest
in
alternative
and
complementary
technologies
to
create
a
resilient
PNT
enterprise.
Attendees
will
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
and
engage
with
leaders
across
the
community
to
learn
how
the
DoD
and
federal
government
are
accelerating
PNT
innovation
to
ensure
accurate,
secure
time
and
location
data.
Topics
to
be
covered
include:
–
Coordinating
PNT
Policies
and
Directives
to
Align
with
the
DoD’s
Strategic
Goals
–
Testing
Operational
Effectiveness
&
Suitability
of
PNT

for
Great
Power
Competition
by
Improving
Space
Resiliency
and
Innovation
–
Army
Priorities
for
Developing
&
Fielding
Resilient
PNT
Capabilities
–
Going
Beyond
Space:
Adding
Resiliency
into
Our
National
PNT
Infrastructure
–

and
Advancements
in
Anti-Jamming,
Spoofing,
and
