Description

On February 12, 2020, President Trump signed Executive Order (EO) 13905, “Strengthening National Resilience Through Responsible Use of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Services,” with the goal of ensuring that the Nation’s critical infrastructure can withstand disruption or manipulation of PNT services. EO 13905 directs the development of a national plan for the R&D and pilot testing of additional, robust, and secure PNT services that are not dependent on GNSS. These additional services may consist of multiple systems with varying functional specifications to satisfy one or more applications with differing requirements. To further enhance infrastructure resilience, the plan will also consider approaches to integrate and use multiple PNT services including GNSS services.
