The workshop brought together Australian experts on GNSS vulnerability  from academia, industry and various government departments at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia on the 4th of December, 2013. Speakers at the workshop highlighted the threats, including from cheap illegal jammers, the other infrastructure sectors affected from aviation and maritime to communications and banking, and the remedies available, including technology being developed in Australia to geolocate interferers. The incorporation of GNSS into the national infrastructure resilience strategy was also discussed. Open discussion led to agreement that different measures to deal with vulnerability must be pursued in parallel: to protect GNSS as effectively as is possible, and to ensure backup systems exist.
