Norway announced on November 11 that it would update its strategy for positioning, navigation and timing services. The government wants to reduce the country’s exposure to failures or interference affecting GPS and other satellite-based systems.
The existing strategy dates from 2018. The trade and fisheries ministry said Norway had since become more dependent on these services while the security environment had changed. The review will look across sectors at ways to withstand interruptions and reduce vulnerabilities.
The ministry said it had recently commissioned studies of reliance on satellite services, the consequences of failures and possible responses. It plans further detailed discussions with relevant organisations as the revised strategy is developed.
