US PNT Advisory Board
Fellow time-nuts,
Among the duties that I have in my daytime job, I now find attending the
US PNT Advisory Board. You can find it on the gps.gov, with online
streaming and material available. It is interesting to note the public
briefings on a number of things, including status of things, policy
developments etc. I found myself eating both breakfast and lunch with
Brad Parkingson, who is the father of GPS as he helped create it and
negotiate it's support and funding. He is still very active.
Currently the founder of QZSS, the Japanese regional augmentation system
to provide additional signals in deep urban canyons, is presenting the
current state of the system, just to give you an example of what goes on.
I sit in the back and doesn't say anything, but many interesting
discussions in the sidelines.
The US PNT Advisory Board and the CGSIC are two very open forums to
track and monitor for US PNT context. However, they do actively get
overview of international developments, so it is quite interesting. I
recommend following these, even if you do not do it as hands on as I
apparently find myself doing these days. I presented for both.
Cheers,
Magnus
I believe Brad's last name is spelled Parkinson.

Hi Magnus:
Has there been any discussion about "GPS denied" PNT?

Yes, you are correct. I know better, but sometimes the fingers are
faster than the mind. Sorry about that.
Cheers,

Hi Magnus:

Sure. There is multiple aspects to it even. There is a range of
different approaches. One is relating to improve availability of nulling
antennas. Others is to use network to proivde alternative feed. Yet
further is LEO systems.
It's hard to speak of a single presentation, but it shows up here and
there. For instance Karen van Dykes, DOT, presentation.
Cheers,
Magnus
