American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) visit to EMSL
Ispra, 18/03/2010During his visit to the JRC Ispra site, Dr Benn Tannenbaum from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) visited the European Microwave Signature Laboratory (EMSL) of IPSC’s STA Unit. As the Program Director of the AAAS Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy, Mr Tennenbaum took particular interest in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) infrastructure and the related security challenges both from intentional and natural threats including space debris and radio frequency interference. GNSS, as part of the space infrastructure, is seen as a critical asset for the technologically advanced economies and is receiving increasing attention in the security agenda in Europe and the USA. In view of the policy significance of the Galileo programme in Europe, STA unit is actively researching into countermeasures against GNSS threats and vulnerabilities including RF interference and malicious attacks.
