  • Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Systems for Critical Infrastructure
    Direct Injection Testing Fact Sheet

    Accurate Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) is necessary for the operation of many Critical Infrastructure (CI) sectors. Since PNT is an evolving landscape, and multi-PNT ecosystems are increasingly vulnerable to attack, building PNT dependencies into future technologies is progressively more important. As adverse impacts to PNT disruption become more widespread and longer lasting, precision timing becomes more important for continued resilience within CI systems such as the electric grid, communication networks, and financial institutions.
