Details

Many of our critical services, from telecommunications to transport, rely on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) to operate.

This report sets out the findings of a review exploring the UK’s dependency on GNSS. It covers:

  • threats and vulnerabilities
  • sector dependencies (both current and future)
  • mitigations
  • standards and testing

It recommends a number of measures to make critical services more resilient to disruption or loss of GNSS.
