The Art and Science of Navigation Warfare

The military is critically dependant on position, navigation, and time (PNT) services across platforms and missions. For decades, GPS (and GNSS more widely) has been the ubiquitous standard by which PNT services are provided, and gave rise to the field of Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR).

This webinar will cover a variety of methods by which GNSS receivers are protected from jamming and spoofing, focussing heavily on modern CRPA technology. We will finish by touching briefly on the emerging field of Alt-NAVWAR: how alternative non-GNSS navigation techniques are being drawn into the NAVWAR arena.

Speaker and Presenter Information

Michael is Head of PNT Engineering at Roke. He has an exceptionally broad background encompassing sensing, communications, navigation, and EW, and has specialist interest in NAVWAR and PNT Warfare. Over the past 25 years he has developed some of the world�s leading NAVWAR technology, and the world�s first true anti-spoofing technology. His work is in service on a variety of DoD and MoD platforms around the world, and on the surface of Mars. He is a global authority on adaptive antenna GNSS systems, including interference cancellation, adaptive beamforming, direction finding, and threat classification.

Michael is known internationally for his work, and was made a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation in recognition of his significant and sustained contribution to the field of navigation warfare, and a Fellow of the IET. He has a number of publications on GNSS interference countermeasures, acted for a number of years as Defence Editor for GPS World, and invited speaker at various international conferences.
