DOT, through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) and the Maritime Administration (MARAD), will host a workshop on Global Positioning System (GPS) jamming and spoofing in the maritime environment on December 3, 2020.
Focus of the workshop
The workshop will focus on:
- How positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) supports maritime applications;
- What happens when PNT is denied, disrupted, or manipulated in a maritime environment; and
- Options to reduce operational impact and increase PNT resiliency.
This DOT Workshop will be held virtually and is open to the general public by registration only.
For those who would like to attend the workshop, we request that you register no later than November 30, 2020. Please use the following link to register.
Date and Time: December 3, 2020, from 1:00-5:00 p.m. (EST).
Location: This workshop will be held virtually.
Resilient PNT capability
The purpose of the workshop, which is a key component of stakeholder engagement of the DOT pilot program, is to increase public awareness of real-world incidents of the GPS signal being jammed or spoofed in a maritime environment and to discuss potential options to detect this interference, as well as use of complementary PNT technologies to provide a resilient PNT capability in the maritime environment.
