INSIGHT & COMMENTARY
Out in Front: More Satellites! More Signals!
When washing dishes one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I could run my own election, play the political puppetmaster as it were — this, this was truly exciting. And so was born GNSS Election '08, the basis for discussion at this year's Leadership Dinner, held during ION-GNSS in Savannah, Georgia.
Leadership Talks: GNSS Election '08

Expert Advice: Interoperability, from Signals to Integrity
For the user to combine systems using interoperable integrity mechanisms, the integrity information received from each of the systems must be based on the same concepts and definitions. There is a risk of having different receiver standards at regional level, and the lack of an agreed GNSS baseline on integrity could delay the ongoing transition to GNSS in aviation. Thus, reinforcing international cooperation to agree on a common base integrity mechanism will take a step towards interoperability and improved performance under a multi-constellation architecture.
