This course is designed to be educational and informative for those who need to bring positioning and/or timing information into their application or data-based service. This would include, for example, use of PNT in drones, autonomous vehicles, communications, integration of positioning data for analytics, airports, ports and other infrastructure / logistics.The course is also applicable for anyone wanting to improve knowledge and skills PNT generally.CPD credits: This course is admissible for CPD. A certificate of attendance is available on request. The Royal Institute of Navigation offers a route to professional engineering registration for professionally qualified members, visit https://rin.org.uk/page/ProfessionalReg for more information. Speakers: The course will be led by John Pottle, director of the Royal Institute of Navigation, Guy Buesnel, PNT security technologist at Spirent Communications with over 20 years of experience in PNT, and Andy Proctor, Director of Rethink PNT.Cost: Course fees are fully-funded by the UK Space Agency and CSATT. Refreshments, lunch, and a networking reception will all be included. Delivery:This course will be delivered in person and virtually.
