Getting Washington to Wake Up to GNSS Reality

Diana Furchtgott-Roth

Abstract:	This paper discusses the chasm between researchers who specialize in GNSS on the one hand and, on the other, the policymakers in Washington, D.C. who are in charge of preserving spectrum for safety of life considerations and investing in backups and complements to PNT. Researchers know full well the fragility of GNSS and commercial techniques to make it more resilient--and to have a stronger economy. Yet federal departments neglect this reality in favor of short-term gains. This paper lays out a plan to communicate the risks, to sell the solutions, and to get Washington to wake up.
