“The mission of resilient navigation and timing foundation is to promote wide area resilient navigation and timing ("rnt") worldwide. (note this is sometimes referred to as wide area position, navigation and timing services or "pnt services," but in this explanation, we will use "rnt," except when citing other sources.) navigation and timing systems are essential to a wide variety of transportation, information, communication, power distribution, and other critical infrastructure. These systems also are important to a broad spectrum of other economic and human activity. Space-based navigation and timing systems, like the global positioning system ("gps"), send very faint signals which are easily disrupted, cannot be received underground, underwater, and frequently not indoors. Rnt technology can overcome these problems in most cases. For example, a strong, wide area navigation signal could allow first responders to navigate underground and indoors and receive communications from outside. This would increase safety for fire fighters, for example, as it could help them find their way and be tracked inside buildings, as well as receive directions to change their tactics or evacuate from the fire chief outside.”

“(1) educating the public and government leaders about the importance of- navigation and timing services and the vulnerabilities of existing systems. Published 38 articles in 9 different print and electronic industry journals. Gave 36 interviews to 27 different media outlets published 188 blog posts and distributed through our website, linkedin, and twitter presented and/or panelist for 6 webinars keynote or formal presentations at 5 conferences/meetings visits to our website increased by 43% over 2019 2) fostering development of wide are resilient navigation and timing systems as public utilities. As a result of our activities congress provided 1.8m to the department of transportation for additional staff and directed creation of a program office. Several provisions were also included in the 2021 national defense authorization act that reflected advice we had been asked for and provided. (3) preserving and sharing information about resilient navigation and timing services and recognizing those who have made significant contributions. Sponsored workshops, nominated three for awards, contributed to numerous events, maintained website that includes library of relevant reference material.”
