Satellite-based Communication, Navigation & Surveillance

CNS System-Navigation - Navigation Services in Civil Aviation : Conventional

Objectives

Analyse of the Navigation needs of aeronautics, and demonstration that their evolution requires the implementation of global solutions with satellite component. Overview of the techniques of navigation deployed in Europe and around the world. Navigation generic requirement for systems (Conventional Nav Aids and GNSS), recommended by OACI, and the operational requirements (RNAV.RNP, PBN criteria). Full review of satellite augmentations in Navigation domain, view of future GNSS developments including a discussion on GALILEO.
