Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happens When GPS Goes Dark?
Q: What concrete steps did you highlight for improving detection and response to GPS interference, both domestically and internationally?
Adopt a multi-layered detection approach, empower authorities with legal authority to respond, and invest in interoperable back-up infrastructure and governance to ensure faster detection, attribution, and mitigation.
What Happens When GPS Goes Dark?
Q: What are some of the things we need to do or should be doing as the US and our allies to mitigate this in the future?
Establish a centralized governance and leadership for civilian PNT, empower a core national resilient architecture that combines space, terrestrial broadcasts, and fiber, and develop backup systems so users can transition if GPS is compromised; coordinate across civil and defense sectors and nations.
What Happens When GPS Goes Dark?
Q: Could you talk to us a little bit about the ubiquitous nature of GPS and how reliant we are on it as a way of helping us understand our current state in this technical field?
GPS is widely used beyond obvious navigation: the timing signal is foundational for cell towers, finance, internet synchronization, and manufacturing. Its low cost and openness have driven lock-in across sectors, creating interdependencies that can cascade failures if GPS is disrupted.
Unlocking Spectrum Dominance With AI and Cognitive EW
Q: How do you approach training and data to prevent adversarial manipulation of AI in EMSO applications?
Use diverse, multi-language and multi-environment datasets, holdout testing, red-team exercises, and advanced techniques like homomorphic encryption to protect models and data integrity while ensuring models can still adapt in real time.
Unlocking Spectrum Dominance With AI and Cognitive EW
Q: Could you give us a quick overview of cognitive EW and how it differs from standard AI or ML terms?
Cognitive EW is an end-to-end loop of sensing, understanding, deciding, acting, and learning, with a focus on real-time adaptation in the EMS environment, where systems can reason about goals and adjust actions as the situation changes.
