It is nearly time to say goodbye 2016 - thanks for the ride. And now for the next one ! 


Perhaps we need to consider 2017 in a new light, especially for the IET Radar, Sonar and Navigation TPN.

 

We have been quite for a few years now, but 2017 seems like a good time to review this and to start to rebuilt the TPN.  We were involved in the 2016 IGNSS Conference which was held in Sydney at the University of New South Wales' Colombo Theatres from 6th - 8th December 2016.


IGNSS runs the SE Asian region’s premier conference on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and related Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) technologies. This year’s IGNSS conference will be in Sydney, Australia from 6 to 8 December 2016 and will bring together leaders in GNSS and PNT to examine the latest technology, present cutting edge research and discuss in open forums the implications for policy, market development and positioning infrastructure deployment. You can read the Wrap Up from the conference. 


Looking forward to 2017, we recently put out a call for volunteers and had an excellent response.  I will be going through these early next year, so look  out for a list of new and active members for the Executive Team.  Our first area to look at will be a strategy for the TPN for the next few years.  This will be looking at our aims, objectives, who we need on board, and how we get to this position.  If you have any ideas, please let me  know.  


More details will be posted after the meeting, so look out for this and let us know of any Radar, Sonar or Navigation related events you go to, what you think the TPN should be covering and an activity (physical, online, interviews, blogs, articles) that you would like to see on the community page.


Thank you for being engaged with the Community in 2016, and we hope to see more of you in 2017.
