GPS (GNSS) is no longer just a navigation tool—it’s a critical component powering modern commerce. From maritime shipping and fleet logistics to energy grids and autonomous vehicles, GPS-based timing and positioning are essential to daily operations.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security identifies GPS timing as essential to 15 of the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) sectors.
These include:
Any interference with GPS signals—whether accidental or malicious—can disrupt entire systems. Such disruptions can lead to operational paralysis, economic losses, and in worst cases, threats to public safety and national security.
