Resilient PNT Forum IV
When: October 19, 2015
Where: Prague, Czech Republic
The International Association of Institutes of Navigation (IAIN) holds its Congress in Prague from 20-24 October 2015. The fourth Forum on Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) will be held from 1600-1800 on 20 October 2015, immediately preceding the Conference in the same venue.
This follows three very successful events at ENC 2014 in Rotterdam, at ION ITM 2015 at Dana Point CA. and at ENC 2015 in Bordeaux. The motivation for these events is the increasing reliance on Global Navigation Satellite Systems in all transport sectors, for timing and other essential infrastructure throughout the World. The inherent vulnerability of GNSS to disruption makes it essential to provide resilient supporting systems, particularly for safety of life and economically critical applications. Robust systems in the presence of interference, with integrity monitoring and authentication, can only be achieved through cooperative efforts by industry, administrations and user groups.
The objective of this fourth Forum is to focus on identifying resilient PNT solutions that support activities across all applications of navigation and timing and formulating an action plan to make them a reality.
