$NN Rear Admiral H. Wyman Howard III, USN (Ret) -
"Based on my understanding of adversary capabilities that hold at risk critical infrastructure, I have conviction that addressing the national and economic security implications of not having a GPS backup is an urgent national priority. I believe in the near-term potential of NextNav’s 5Gbased 3D PNT technology as part of a system-of-systems approach to PNT resiliency, which requires no taxpayer funding. The combination of these two factors is why I joined NextNav’s Board of Directors earlier this year after evaluating its 5G-based 3D PNT technology. In my meeting, I urged the Commissioner to support promptly moving forward with a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to enable the Commission’s expert staff to fully evaluate the technical record prior to a final decision on a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS in the Lower 900 MHz band."
