However\, GPS signals remain vulnerable to disruption\, jamming\, and spoofing\, highlighting an urgent need for additional and complementary sources of PNT that can be used in the event GPS is denied or degraded.  This year’s Summit will support the national security imperative to reduce reliance on a single PNT source by advancing a diversified\, resilient PNT ecosystem.  Speakers will explore opportunities to introduce and scale terrestrial PNT solutions while also strengthening space-based PNT technologies to withstand jamming and spoofing from adversaries.  Join us at the 2026 Assured PNT Summit to hear from and directly engage with leaders across the DoW\, federal government\, academia\, and industry as they discuss the steps being taken to assure PNT for military\, commercial\, and civilian applications.

The Seminar is a one-day training event hosted at NEI’s Washington\, DC facilities on Thursday\, April 2\, 2026. Designed for professionals at the intersection of space and nuclear sectors\, the seminar provides a comprehensive overview of the regulatory\, technical\, and safety frameworks governing the launch of nuclear power sources. Sessions will explore jurisdictional processes\, launch licensing\, insurance and indemnification\, safety analysis methodologies\, and more.
