S2 Ep3. Securing Australia Through Space: Jia-Urnn Lee on Space Technologies and PNT
In this episode, we explore how space-based technologies are shaping Australia's national security and disaster resilience. Jia-Urnn Lee, Space and Defense Lead at Frontiers SI, joins us to discuss the critical role of Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems, Australia’s reliance on foreign infrastructure, and the need for national and regional solutions. She also shares insights from her recent policy paper on resilient PNT for disaster response and shares the importance of governance in driving adoption of advanced space technologies.
PNT systems underpin a wide range of essential services, from emergency response and transportation to financial transactions and defense operations. As critical infrastructure, the resilience and accessibility of PNT capabilities are vital for Australia’s ability to respond to natural disasters, maintain national security, and support everyday services.
