Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) TrainingThis course is part of the wider Space Applications Learning Hub (SALHUB) training courses which will deliver expert-led training modules in systems engineering, data/artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) and commercial operations across positioning, navigation and timing (PNT), Earth observation (EO/GIS) and satellite communications (SatComms). PNT enables all aspects of everyday life, from smartphone apps to enabling critical infrastructure such as communications and power networks. PNT is a growing area and our courses are designed for anyone considering moving into a sector using PNT, anyone who has just made that move, or indeed those wanting new insights and to deepen PNT skills. Courses will be offered at foundation and intermediate level.
The foundation courses will provide a vital bedrock of awareness and knowledge needed by everyone involved in using or specifying positioning or timing as part of a system or application. Intermediate level courses go deeper, into system engineering design, data analytics for PNT systems and how to interpret and apply PNT data, including use of AI/ML techniques.
This course will address how to write positioning and timing system specifications for any use case, best practices for resilient PNT, a review of data sources, types of data and outputs from positioning and timing systems, interpretation and analysis of PNT data and a special module on timing. There will be modules on bringing everything together into a system-of-systems capable of performing resiliently. We will also cover how to track and maintain performance for your use case, flagging issues and how to plan to address them. Linked Cross-Cutting Modules and EO/GIS & SatComms Courses: Module delivery schedule: These modules take place at 1100-1230 (London time zone) every Monday from 07 October to 09 December.

Registration for this course is now available - please click the "register" button above. Registration is free and open to all thanks to UK Space Agency (UKSA) funding. The SALHUB is one of five new projects recently announced by the UKSA to help tackle key skills gaps identified by the recent UK space sector skills survey. This UKSA funding has been provided to boost the availability of training and to break down barriers to opportunities within the fast-growing, high-tech sector.
The SALHUB is led by the Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) together with expert partners Space Professionals Partnership Limited (SPPL), Geospatial Ventures Limited (GVL) and Space Skills Alliance (SSA). Please note that this course will be delivered online via Zoom and will require attendees to use a zoom account. Zoom joining information should be received via automated e-mail after registration. Please contact Clare Stead at comms@rin.org.uk if you do not receive your joining information. Module titles may be subject to change.
