Course Aim

The GPS, PNT and Navigation Warfare course provides attendees with an understanding of the space based position, navigation and timing systems available around the world. The course covers their key features, methods of operation and applications. The vulnerabilities and methods to increase robustness and resilience are then explained in an accessible manner. No prior military or technical knowledge is required. Attendees receive a PDF copy of the course slides.
