NATO’s Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG) is launching a study on future technologies for aeronautical navigation.
The study aims to explore future technologies that can provide precise, resilient, secure, and safe aeronautical navigation capabilities. These technologies will support aircraft, munitions, and other aerial systems across various operational scenarios, including peacetime, crisis situations, and potentially wartime.
As legacy ground-based navigation aids are phased out and GNSS-based systems can be vulnerable to spoofing and jamming, ensuring reliable and resilient aeronautical navigation is critical. The NIAG study will assess innovative solutions to maintain navigation capabilities, particularly in degraded visibility conditions, where disruptions could severely impact military security and civil aviation operations.
An inaugural meeting will be held on April 10-11 at the Devero Hotel near Milan, hosted by Thales Italy.
