    Episode 110. Behind the Curve? The Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation Advocates for Hardening Security for the U.S.’s Global Position System.

    The Resilient Navigation and Timing (RNT) Foundation is a public benefit and scientific and educational charity, 501(c)3, organization. Its members advocate for hardening the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the United States, which is behind some international competitors’ systems, including those of Russia and China. The foundation provides unbiased, objective advice to the public and national leaders and champions polices and systems aimed at protecting GPS satellites, signals, and users from interference. Today we talk to Dana A. Goward, president of the RNT Foundation and a retired U.S Coast Guard captain. Mr. Goward brings decades of first-hand experience with navigation issues and served for more than a decade as a member of the U.S. President’s National Space-based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Advisory Board. | Learn More about the RNT Foundation

About

Engaging conversations about transportation innovations

Our ability to get from Point A to Point B is something lots of us take for granted. But transporting people and products across town or across the country every day is neither simple nor easy.

Join us as we explore the challenges on Thinking Transportation, a podcast about how we get ourselves — and the things we need — from one place to another. Every other week, an expert from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute or other special guest will help us dig deep on a wide range of topics.

Transportation has a profound impact on our daily existence. So, the conversations you’ll hear on Thinking Transportation are about more than just how we move about. Often, by extension, they’re also about how we live.
