Precision Timing as the Foundation of Assured PNT
Original update date:

Discusses local timing when external references change or become unavailable, and its role in positioning, navigation and synchronization.
Time references and holdover
When GNSS or an external reference is unavailable, timing depends on the local clock and control strategy. Duration, temperature, aging and calibration affect time error.
