International Information Subcommittee
European Meeting
Munich 2017
The International Information Subcommittee (IISC) of the Civil GPS Service Interface Committee (CGSIC) convened in Munich, Germany, on March 16, 2017. The IISC meeting was organized as an official session of the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit.
Questions addressed include:
- What is being done to ensure the viability of satellite PNT spectrum?
- What level of noise in adjacent spectrum bands is acceptable for continued operations of GNSS signals?
- How does the U.S. capture input from global users of GPS and what is being done to promote cooperation with other PNT systems?
- What policy challenges must be overcome by governments to support the GNSS community?
- How is the aviation community strategizing for future navigation resiliency?
- How is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security approaching the question of a backup for GNSS?
- What studies are being done to help validate any decision for a backup? How do decisions made in other countries affect U.S. PNT policy?
