Representatives from Europe, Japan, Africa and the United States will report on world-wide activities in civil use of satellite navigation, including:
- GPS, GLONASS, Galileo
- Space-based and ground-based GNSS services- EGNOS (Europe), WAAS (USA), QZSS (Japan),
- Regional GNSS reference systems-EUREF (Europe), AFREF (Africa), SIRGAS (Latin America),
- Quality Assurance,
- Public
and private services and activities- EUPOS, SAPOS (Germany), LITPOS
(Lithuania), SKPOS (Slovak Republic), C-NAV (GB) - Applications such as flood disaster management in Lagos (Nigeria),
auto-steering of agricultural machines (Hungary), GNSS-based ground
penetration radar (Serbia) - Company-specific developments
All presentations will be translated simultaneously in German and English.
The conference is organized by the International Committee on GNSS (ICG), the Federal State of Berlin, UNOOSA, and by EUPOS. The European Position Determination System is an initiative to establish a ground-based European regional GNSS augmentation system, operating a network of multi-functional DGNSS reference stations in Central and Eastern Europe.
