Changes in FCC rules to support GPS alternatives could impact DoD
Briefly

The FCC is evaluating changes to spectrum licensing rules to facilitate alternatives to GPS for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT). Trade organizations stress the need for the FCC to collaborate with the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. The commission's regulations, crucial for commercial electromagnetic spectrum use, also impact military operations, highlighted by disputes like Ligado Networks' use of radio frequencies. GPS signals are essential for both civilian and defense logistics, making inter-agency cooperation crucial for the nation's PNT strategy.
The FCC's role in licensing PNT systems is vital, as its regulatory decisions can have far-reaching implications for the Department of Defense's operations and strategies.
US strategy for the nation's PNT architecture calls for comprehensive inter-agency input, indicating the collaborative effort required for effective positioning and navigation solutions.
