Beyond GNSS/GPS: magnetic navigation and multisensor resilience in contested skies - Story

December 04, 2025

GPS remains one of history’s great technological feats, but its signals are vulnerable. Although the U.S. military is taking steps to deploy M-code and modernize the constellation – which could take years to decades – even a hardened GPS signal is vulnerable to the satellite itself being shot out of the sky. Warfighters and operators need to leverage resilient positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) today, not a decade from now. The answer to this dilemma might be right under our feet in the form of magnetic navigation (magnav).
