Session C6a: PANEL: PNT from LEO Satellites

RETURN TO SESSION LIST

Date: Friday, September 18, 2026
Time: 1:45 p.m. - 3:20 p.m.
Location: Windsong 3-4

Industry, government, and academia explore how LEO constellations are reshaping PNT. Panelists will discuss dedicated and hybrid PNT payloads, integration with traditional GNSS and terrestrial networks, and emerging signal processing and security innovations. The session will examine constellation architectures, user applications, and system performance, highlighting benefits such as enhanced resilience, precision, and coverage. Attendees will gain insight into how LEO constellations, alone or combined with GNSS, dedicated or standalone systems, are enabling next-generation PNT services for autonomous systems, communications, and critical infrastructure.
