As small autonomous aircraft move into more demanding operating environments, the PNT challenge is shifting from nominal accuracy to system coherence. Hyfix argues that tighter integration across positioning, timing, estimation, and control can reduce hidden error, improve integrity, and make autonomy stacks more resilient under degraded conditions.

In 2017, the main message at the Munich Satellite Summit was clear: GNSS needs a backup. Nearly 10 years later, the message hasn’t changed; we may have more tools available but very little progress has been made—while the threat to GNSS only continues to grow.
