Securing Mission-Critical Infrastructure: Why Space-Based Solutions Work
A single day without GPS would cost the US economy approximately $1 billion, according to a 2019 study by RTI International commissioned by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. A sustained outage would cascade through telecommunications networks, power grids, financial systems, and transport infrastructure with consequences difficult to comprehend. Yet the systems providing positioning and timing data to critical infrastructure remain vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, and disruption. The Demonstrated Threat Modern critical infrastructure has developed an almost complete dependency on satellite-based timing, which few organisations properly appreciate. Financial trading systems require microsecond accuracy for transaction sequencing and regulatory compliance. Telecommunications networks depend on precise synchronisation to prevent data loss … Securing Mission-Critical Infrastructure: Why Space-Based Solutions Work
