The empty field that wasn't
The article discusses the emerging importance of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) as an alternative to traditional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It highlights the challenges faced by the Galileo system and the ongoing developments in spatializing core Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) components within a distributed network of LEO satellites. The piece emphasizes the critical role of trusted PNT technologies in defense, autonomy, and infrastructure.
- ▪LEO PNT is becoming a significant alternative to traditional GNSS.
- ▪The article provides insights into the challenges faced by the Galileo system.
- ▪There is a focus on the spatialization of SBAS components within LEO satellite networks.
