GPS/GNSS Denial and Resilience Workshop by Tonex
GPS/GNSS Denial and Resilience Workshop by Tonex gives professionals a focused two-day view of how navigation and timing services are disrupted, degraded, protected, and restored across modern operational environments. As reliance on satellite-based positioning, navigation, and timing continues to expand, organizations in defense, aviation, maritime, transportation, and critical infrastructure need practical understanding of denial scenarios and resilience planning.
This workshop examines interference sources, operational impacts, detection methods, risk management, and continuity strategies for mission-critical systems. It also addresses how spoofing, jamming, and signal manipulation intersect with cybersecurity concerns, especially when digital systems depend on trusted timing and location data. Stronger GPS/GNSS resilience supports cybersecurity by reducing exposure to deceptive inputs, service disruption, and cascading failures across connected networks and control environments.
