GPS, even when encrypted, is susceptible to spoofing and jamming and cannot be a single point of failure in critical PNT services such as military applications. Secure, resilient and assured PNT with six 9’s reliability is required, and is what ADVA and Brandywine Communications will provide through a new collaboration.
