With our new aPNT+™ platform, we’re responding to calls from the US DHS and NIST to protect critical infrastructure from the growing danger of GNSS vulnerabilities and cyber threats to positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services. This scalable solution meets all of the latest guidelines for resilient PNT and is the industry’s most complete offering. It provides end-to-end control and timing network visibility for the most robust protection available against the catastrophic risks that PNT disruption poses to national security and essential assets such as power grids.

Timing issues: small cause – big effect
Sync failures can cause tremendous damage
GNSS
attack
• Attack falsifies syncphasor timestamp
• In consequence, mid-voltage circuit breakers are activated
• Local overload impacts middle- and high-voltage network
• Many local issues create regional outages

• $1B/day in economic cost if GPS/GNSS is disrupted
• T (timing) is a key enabler of PN (positioning and navigation) capabilities
• US Federal Executive Order 13905 on resilient PNT to protect critical infrastructure
• US resilient PNT initiatives:
- DHS Resilient PNT Conformance Framework (now under IEEE P1952 standardization)
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework for PNT Profile
• US DHS Resilient Conformance Framework – four resiliency levels:
- Level 1: 1 PNT source
- Level 2: 2 PNT sources
- Level 3: N PNT sources
- Level 4: next-gen PNT systems
What is resilient PNT and why do we need it?
