The Eleventh Meeting of the International Committee on GNSS (ICG) was held in Sochi, Russian Federation from 06 to 11 November 2016.

“I took part in the last two ICG meetings and I can say that all ‘owners’ of satellite systems are having small problems with implementation of their plans for development and modernisation. Most of these problems are related to the slowdown in the development of systems and the lack of possibilities to accelerate the work. The reason for this situation is the global financial situation.”

“The most important issue is the problem of protecting GNSS from spoofing and jamming. The best solution in this field, currently, is the terrestrial alternative generally known as ‘e-Loran’ that is in development in a few countries around the world.”
