The UK has a track record in achieving excellence in resilient PNT spanning from understanding the threats and impacts to delivering innovative technology and solutions.
This leadership seminar brings together the UK’s leaders in government, industry, academia and key user communities to highlight economic benefits of resilient PNT leadership and to develop a view of approaches, priorities and next steps.
The RIN's objectives for this event are:
1. To update the community and to demonstrate tangible progress since last year
2. Discuss and issue
