Call for Participation 2017

Posted: November 18, 2016 | Last Modified: March 20, 2021

Conference Theme: “CNS Challenges for UAS Integration”

ICNS 2017 Theme Graphic (.png)

The Integrated Communications Navigation and Surveillance (ICNS) Conference is an international aviation conference addressing technology and policy advances in ICNS – new research, development and implementation programs and policies related to ICNS capabilities and applications.

The 2017 ICNS Conference addresses long-term research and development of integrated CNS technologies for advanced aeronautical digital information systems and applications supporting the future global air transportation systems.

This year, ICNS will emphasize the challenges of integrating UAS into the managed airspace and CNS challenges to facilitate that integration. Special consideration will be given to papers addressing reduced size, weight and power achieved through integrated CNS avionics and mitigation of physical and cybersecurity threats arising from UAS integration. Participation in the 2017 ICNS Conference will provide insight to the aviation community about state of the art and guidance on related standardization aspects to develop and deploy UAS in the national and global air spaces.

Jointly sponsored by government and industry, the ICNS Conference assembles national and international government and industry leaders to address important policy issues with technical experts and thought leaders.

The focus is on understanding CNS programs, plans, research and technology, and other relevant issues impacting aviation modernization.
