The increasing frequency of threats poses an unprecedented operational risk to defense 5G communications networks, including information systems and DoD-specific cloud data centers. Without defense-in-depth positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities, these critical infrastructures are vulnerable to complex cyberattacks. While most people associate GPS with the P and N capabilities, its single biggest value is the T, because T enables P and N. In warfare and homeland security applications, failure is not an option. That's why it's crucial to have robust and trusted failsafe and fault-tolerant PNT systems that can withstand cyberattacks and provide six 9s uptime reliability.
To address these challenges, this presentation will provide real-world information on timing architectures and best practices for synchronizing mission-critical defense infrastructure with secure, resilient, and assured PNT capabilities. The presentation will discuss the need for PNT systems that can withstand complex cyberattacks and provide six 9s uptime reliability. By implementing these best practices, defense infrastructure can be synchronized with secure and defense-in-depth PNT capabilities.
