The European Navigation Conference 2024 (ENC 2024) was held between 22-24 May 2024 at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
The main theme of the conference was Resilient Navigation. While the 20th Century was focussed on the provision of ubiquitous and accurate Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), the 21st Century’s focus has shifted to ensuring that PNT services may be trusted and are reliable and resilient. As we move to more and more systems that are either fully automated, or are automated to the point of human complacency, there is now wide recognition of the need for PNT systems that will operate in unprecedented threat-challenged environments (both civil and military); continuously provide usability and integrity status; fail very rarely; and when they do fail, do so safely, securely and elegantly.
Overall navigation system resilience requires the vulnerabilities of not only the core systems but also those of associated systems and data to also be addressed, including mapping information, related databases, routing/path definition, guidance and control.
The ENC 2024 Resilient Navigation theme addressed:
- The current state-of-the art in terms of resilience across all modes of navigation (on land, at sea, in the air and in space)
- Planned and current mitigations to known vulnerabilities and other factors to increase resilience, including systems approaches and operational
