FrontierSI urges action on resilient PNT infrastructure

FrontierSI, a leading force in geospatial innovation, unveils a review of government policy to strengthen Australia’s Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) infrastructure with a new white paper and technical report. In an era defined by digital dependency and cyber threats, ensuring the resilience of PNT technology is imperative to maintain uninterrupted access and safeguard our nation’s future.

Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technology, similar to the GPS in everyday devices, steers various industries from agriculture to finance. It is pivotal for essential services, such as precise navigation, timekeeping and securing global financial transactions, yet its global presence and economic significance are often overlooked.

Recent technological glitches and malicious cyber activities have highlighted vulnerabilities within Australia’s PNT ecosystem. When satellite signals falter, industries such as agriculture and maritime feel the sting, emphasising weaknesses that demand attention.
