Munich Satellite Navigation Summit is a two-day international conference, the perfect occasion to have an updated status of the various GNSS (GPS, Beidou, Glonass, Navic [India], QZSS [Japan] and Galileo of course) and SBAS systems in the world (WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN, SDCM and MSAS [Japan]), and to meet with the European GNSS community.

The added value of EGNSS (Galileo and EGNOS) for drones was the focus of a special session organised by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) at this year’s World ATM Congress in Madrid on 12 March, at which representatives from several projects spoke about how they are benefitting from the European space programme.

The 7 Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) of France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom in their role of ESSP-SAS (European Satellite Service Provider) founders came together to sign a joint letter, which outlines their commitment to continuing their support to EGNOS, a program from the European Union managed by the European GNSS Agency (GSA).

CGEOS Creative Geosensing is a Belgian company specialized in engineering geodesy and high precision positioning applications. CGEOS was founded by Professor Joël van Cranenbroeck in January 2014, taking advantage of his long-term (more than 30 years) experience with GNSS technology acquired at the Belgian National Geographic Institute along with other professional experiences. CGEOS addresses three major market segments at an international level: engineering geodesy consultancy services, GNSS high accuracy positioning and GNSS monitoring of human-made structures and natural elements. CGEOS delivers these services to both the public and private sectors, not only in Belgium but worldwide.

EGNOS is reaching the impressive 70 EGNOS WORKING AGREEMENTS established with Air Navigation Service Providers

Since last December, the Helicopter RNP 0.3 routes based on EGNOS are displayed in the LPV Procedures Map with their associated waypoints and the list of operators using them.
