5th Annual Assured PNT Summit



The 5th Annual APNT Summit will convene the relevant subject matter experts and solution providers from the DoD, federal government, academia, and industry to discuss strategies, policies, and technologies that are needed to boost resiliency and assure PNT services. The Summit will advance the development and integration of a robust, resilient PNT enterprise across the United States to support critical operations and national security.

 

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 Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) Summit will bring together members of the military services, DoD, federal government, industry, and academia in a town-hall style forum.

 

Join us at the 2025 APNT Summit to 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 our access to PNT services.  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.
