The Space Policy Institute (SPI) in collaboration with the Institute for International Science and Technology Policy (IISTP) has announced to present a webinar on the topic “What Technologies can secure GPS?” The webinar is scheduled to be held online via Zoom, on May 5, 2021 at 2:00 pm to feature the Department of Transportation GPS backup report.
Three separate laws have required the US Department of Transportation (DOT) to back up and complement the Global Positioning System, subject to congressional appropriations. To provide a roadmap, in January 2021, the Department released its Complementary PNT and GPS Backup Technologies Demonstration Report.
In this webinar, Acting Assistant Secretary, Robert Hampshire will offer introductory remarks and DOT’s Karen Van Dyke and Andrew Hansen will follow up with a presentation of the report. George Washington University Adjunct Professor, Diana Furchtgott-Roth and the Texas Transportation Institute’s, Greg Winfree will provide comments.
A public Q&A will follow the discussion. The program will open with remarks from Scott Pace, Director of the Space Policy Institute, who will also moderate the discussion.
