Navigation Warfare: GNSS Threats, Countermeasures and LEO PNT

Time: 0930-1700
Venue: Copthorne King's Hotel
Synopsis:
Today, GNSS underpins modern systems across defence, communications, and critical infrastructure. Yet its signals are weak, predictable, and increasingly vulnerable to jamming and spoofing.
This course delivers a comprehensive and technical exploration of GNSS vulnerabilities, attack methodologies, and advanced countermeasures. Participants will gain insight into how attacks are conducted and how to detect and mitigate them, including AI-based spoofing detection techniques.
The course then explore the next frontier of resilient navigation. With the rapid deployment of large-scale LEO constellations such as Starlink and OneWeb, a new class of high-power and wideband signals has emerged. These signals offer the potential for robust positioning even in GNSS-denied scenarios.
Participants will learn how LEO signals can be exploited for navigation using techniques such as Doppler-based positioning, and how they can be integrated with GNSS, inertial systems, and other sensors to form multi-layer PNT architectures.
In an era where navigation systems are actively contested, the ability to design and operate assured PNT systems is a critical capability.
Don't just find your way. Command it.
Target Audience:
This course is designed for engineers, military operators, GNSS system developers and technical managers involved in navigation, defence or security systems. It is particularly relevant for those who need to understand GNSS vulnerabilities, jamming and spoofing threats, and emerging resilient navigation solutions such as LEO PNT.
