2025 Assured PNT Summit Speakers Released
PNT & GPS community to convene April 23-24 in Washington, DC.
Washington, DC, February 28, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Join PNT & GPS experts at the 2025 Assured PNT Summit to explore strategies for ensuring the availability, security, and resilience of PNT. While adversaries continue to strengthen their PNT capabilities, the U.S. remains reliant on a vulnerable GPS system facing persistent threats from jamming, spoofing, and denial of service. This underscores the urgent need to enhance GPS security and integrate alternative and complementary PNT solutions for long-term resilience.

Attendees will have the chance to engage with key leaders, ask questions, and gain insight into how the DoD and federal government are driving PNT innovation to ensure secure, accurate time and location data.
Featured Speakers Include:
- Admiral Christopher Grady, USN, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
- General Michael Guetlein, USSF, Vice Chief of Space Operations US Space Force
- Mitch Crosswait, PhD, SES, Deputy Director, Net-centric, Space and Missile Defense Systems, Operational Test & Evaluation
