Navigating PNT for critical infrastructure resilience and security – IPSEC 2024 speaker interview

We speak with Dr Jia-Urnn Lee, Space and Defence Lead with FrontierSI Australia who will be presenting at the Indo-Pacific Space and Earth Conference and Exhibition, 26-28 November, Crown Perth.

Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) forms part of location intelligence in enabling critical infrastructures services. Loss of access to PNT may constitute a material risk to critical infrastructure under the SOCI Act. In some cases, risks to PNT services may be considered risks to cyber security. Various alternatives to GNSS are being developed with the promise of achieving resilient PNT in Australia. However, there remains an interoperability chasm between emerging technologies and our GPS-enabled critical systems. Technology investment not anchored to a national PNT strategy will not build resilience for disaster response, risk mitigation and emergency management. FrontierSI is undertaking independent research in Defence domains and civil critical infrastructure sectors to recommend policies and best practices for PNT resilience and security.

Dr Jia-Urnn Lee has a hybrid background in structural geology, space, and business development. She has 10 years’ experience working with organisations in technical and management consulting, sector planning, and R&D within the resources, geospatial and academic sectors. As the Space and Defence Lead at FrontierSI, she leads strategy and initiative development of the organisation’s Positioning and Geodesy expertise for applications in space, Defence, and critical infrastructure security.
