Recent developments in global navigation satellite systems 21. In accordance with General Assembly resolution 70/82, the Subcommittee considered agenda item 10, “Recent developments in global navigation satellite systems”, and reviewed issues related to the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG), the latest developments in the field of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and new GNSS applications. 22. (...) The Subcommittee noted that India was currently implementing its satellite navigation programme made up of two systems: the GPS-aided Geostationary- augmented Navigation System (GAGAN), which was a satellite-based augmentation system, and the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), which was an independent regional system. (...) The Subcommittee also noted that a satellite-based augmentation system service using QZSS, which was an air navigation aid to augment GPS, was scheduled to undergo a functional test and certification process beginning in 2018. 8 V.16-01163 A/AC.105/C.1/L.353/Add.4 QZSS would be expanded and upgraded to become an operational regional satellite- based navigation system to improve positioning in the Asia-Pacific region. 46.

Is this permitted during navigation? A Yes, as this is a minor task carried out away from the cargo area B Yes, provided during the welding the gas concentration is regularly measured on site C No, unless this is done with the agreement of the competent authority D No, it is only allowed at a shipyard C GP 7004 8.3.5 Your vessel is loaded with UN No. 1011 BUTANE. During navigation you would like to carry out some minor repairs in the engine room, and they are likely to produce sparks. (...) During navigation you would like to carry out minor repairs in the engine room, and they are likely to produce sparks.

Recent developments in global navigation satellite systems 1. In accordance with General Assembly resolution 75/92, the Subcommittee considered agenda item 9, entitled “Recent developments in global navigation satellite systems”, and reviewed matters related to the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG), the latest developments in the field of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and new GNSS applications. 2. (...) The Subcommittee heard a technical presentation entitled “Development of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System”, by the representative of China. 4. (...) The Subcommittee noted that India was pursuing two paths as part of its satellite navigation programme: the GPS-aided Geostationary Augmented Navigation System (GAGAN) and the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, also known as “Navigation with Indian Constellation” (NavIC).

The Subcommittee also noted that new applications for GPS were constantly being introduced and that the system had grown into a global utility providing space-based positioning, navigation and timing solutions. 42. (...) The Subcommittee noted that, while the GPS-aided Geostationary Augmented Navigation System was being implemented, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, a regional system that would be built indigenously, would be capable of providing optimal position accuracy using a stand-alone satellite system and would comprise seven satellites: three in geostationary orbit and four in geosynchronous orbit. 46. (...) The system would utilize search and rescue payloads on future global navigation satellites in MEO, such as GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, to improve coverage and the speed of detecting and locating 406 megahertz emergency distress beacons worldwide.

Promoting the use of global navigation satellite system technologies as tools for scientific applications 12. (...) Over the course of their training, the participants, representing 14 countries, were taught by international experts in GNSS on topics such as GPS, navigation and terrestrial reference systems and frames. (...) Regional workshop on global navigation satellite system applications 21.

The Subcommittee also noted that the United States had been committed to constantly improving the accuracy and availability of GPS signals. 63. The Subcommittee noted that the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), operated by the Russian Federation, was a dual civil-military system and had been operational since 1993. (...) The Subcommittee noted that the GPS and GEO-Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) was being implemented in India and that the country was initiating an indigenously built regional system, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), which would be capable of providing optimal position accuracy using stand-alone GPS and would comprise seven satellites: three in geostationary orbit and four satellites in a geosynchronous orbit. 68. (...) The system would utilize search and rescue (SAR) payloads on future global navigation satellites in medium-Earth orbit, such as GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, to improve coverage and the speed of detecting and locating 406 megahertz emergency distress beacons worldwide. 71.

PROPOSAL FOR DRAFT AMENDMENTS TO REGULATION No. 26 (Vehicles with regard to their external projections) Transmitted by the expert from France Note: The text reproduced below was prepared by the expert from France in order to include prescriptions for satellite navigation systems aerials (GPS, Galileo, …) into the text of the Regulation. ____________ _______________ Note: This document is distributed to the Experts on General Safety Provisions only. (...) Les antennes émettrices et réceptrices d'ondes radio, y compris les antennes servant aux systèmes de navigation par satellite, doivent être montées…" * * * B. JUSTIFICATION Satellite navigation systems aerials (GPS, Galileo…) present the same risks of injury when the vehicle contacts other road users as radio and radiotelephone aerials.

There is a remarkable and growing number of civil users of GNSS such as the United States of America Global Positioning System (GPS), the Russian Federation Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), the European Galileo system and the Chinese Compass/BeiDou and a growing number of satellites augmenting existing GNSS constellations. (...) Presentations by invited speakers described current and future global space-based navigation and positioning systems, augmentation systems for navigation and SIRGAS. (...) A representative for each system, the Global Positioning System (GPS) of the United States, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) of the Russian Federation and Galileo of the European Community, provided an overview of the systems and infrastructure-based augmentations and a summary of current or planned characteristics and performance, as well as of the ongoing interactions among service providers.
