All Blogs About Assured PNT

Cybersecurity is a hot topic today. Hackers are always looking to undermine our network connections and we are always trying to protect against them. I’m no cybersecurity expert, but I am often asked, “Can Resilient PNT be used to improve cybersecurity?” Resoundingly, “yes.” Here are a few simple examples.

Whether in the air, on land, or at sea, vehicles will impart shocks and vibrations to their electronics, sometimes severely. In high vibration environments, the system designer must account for induced phase noise which can drastically affect overall performance. This white paper discusses the challenges of keeping low noise signals pure in any environment.

Network time service is not something many businesses think about as a key component of their critical infrastructures. In fact, it is often overlooked entirely, and in error. As a result, the network architect or engineer often defaults to an easy alternative: using a server or network switch as the source of the network clock and synchronizing these sources to Internet time servers using Network Time Protocol (NTP). This white paper discusses the risks of, and alternative solutions to, "NTP Over the Internet."

To improve performance of your radar system or signal intelligence (SIGINT) receiver, you need a time and frequency reference that can deliver a low phase noise signal. If your mission is signal intelligence gathering, then that means deeper penetration and more intelligence gathered.
