SHIELD CRC Industry Workshop - Online
2025-12-09 09:00 - 10:30 | online
Australia is increasingly reliant on precise and secure Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), and that dependency is becoming a vulnerability.
From banking and energy to transport and emergency services, our critical systems depend on satellite- based positioning and timing, mostly from foreign-operated Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS. These signals are unprotected, unverified, and easily disrupted by interference, cyberattack, or space weather. As digital transformation accelerates and systems become more autonomous and interconnected, the consequences of a PNT failure multiply risking blackouts, communication loss, navigation failures, and financial disruption.
The SHIELD CRC can change this: Together we can build a sovereign, resilient, and secure PNT ecosystem for Australia – one that detects threats, withstands interference, and recovers quickly so that business continuity, public safety and economic stability are not left vulnerable to forces beyond our control.
The outputs of the CRC will improve productivity and business continuity, simulate new industry growth and strengthen sovereignty national security.
