RESTON, Va., March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NextNav, a leader in next-generation positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) and 3D geolocation, released a new national Public Policy Polling survey which finds that, by a margin of ten-to-one, voters support the creation of a ground-based complement and backup to America\u2019s Global Positioning System (GPS). Majority support is seen across various demographic categories such as gender, political party, and age groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficials across the government for years, including the FCC just last week, have sounded the alarm about the need to build a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS\u2014a key component of a system of systems approach to strengthen the resilience of America\u2019s critical infrastructure,\u201d said Ed Mortimer, NextNav\u2019s Vice President of Government Affairs. \u201cNow voters are joining the call to rise to the challenge of meeting this public safety and national security imperative. These poll results show strong bipartisan support and are particularly compelling in a public policy environment where single-digit opposition to any issue is rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Large majorities of voters see a terrestrial complement and backup to GPS as vital to safeguarding public safety, keeping pace with foreign rivals, protecting U.S. national security, and preserving a strong economy:<\/p>\n
