Legal Aspects of Air Traffic Management Based on Satellite Navigation

Abstract

According to IEEExxviii definition interoperability is the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged. In GNSS context ,interoperability can be understood such that individual GNSS components should be designed ,built and operated in such a way that they do not ‘jam’ each other and allow one to combine their signal in a navigation service of superior quality.ICG (International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite System) is a forum established on a voluntary basis as a informal body to promote cooperation, as appropriate ,on matters of mutual interest related to civil satellite based positioning, navigation ,timing and value added services, as well as the compatability and interoperability of global navigation satellite system while increasing their use to sustainable development. Within the ICG is the providers forum, consisting of those countries operating GNSS system or with plans to develop one .Providers forum adopted Definition of interoperability as follows ‘Interoperability refers to the ability of global and regional navigation satellite systems and augmentations and service they provide to be used together to provide better capabilities at user level than would be achieved by relying solely on the open signal system’ Interoperability of GNSS poses innumerable issues to end user with regard to claim and jurisdictionxxix. .Certainly interoperability signifies involvement of multiple GNSS providers located indifferent jurisdiction having conflicting domestic laws. The task of claimant in such context is to identify appropriate jurisdiction and law applicable for such claim.
