From February 4th to 6th, GMV attended the PNT2026 event in Sydney, Australia, along with other organizations and companies operating in the space industry. This is a major gathering dedicated to positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies, jointly organized by the Australian Institute of Navigation (AIN) and the International Global Navigation Satellite Systems (IGNSS) Association.

This year’s event brought together experts from around the world, to discuss the latest new developments and challenges for PNT technologies, including alternative PNT solutions, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) resilience, and potential risks for these systems such as jamming and spoofing.

GMV was represented by José Caro, Manager of the Augmented Navigation Systems and Services unit, and also by two of the company’s satellite navigation engineers, Antonio González and Inés Fandos. In his presentation, Mr. González discussed some of the latest advances in jamming and spoofing detection and localization, which are using techniques based on artificial intelligence, while Ms. Fandos addressed the current and future precise point positioning (PPP) capabilities of SouthPAN, which is the Australasia region’s GNSS augmentation system. Mr. Caro gave two presentations, one regarding a 2022-2025 performance assessment of the SouthPAN system, and the other emphasizing the operational advantages of dual-frequency, multi-constellation (DFMC) SBAS services, including their resilience when faced with extreme ionospheric phenomena.

These presentations given by GMV, together with those contributed by the other attendees, helped to enrich the dialogues that took place on the subject of PNT technologies, including their applications in a diversity of fields such as industry, research, and defense, the challenges posed by their use, and the latest innovations.
