Assembly resolution A.860(20) on Maritime Policy for a Future Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
2.1 The Working Group considered NAV 45/7/4 (Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain) outlining discussions on a future GNSS within the European GNSS Maritime Advisory Forum - specifically identifying potential maritime applications and associated user requirements relevant to a future GNSS. The "List of minimum maritime user requirements for a GNSS (Appendix 2 to the Annex of resolution A.860(20))" had been reviewed and extended, in particular for non-general maritime navigation applications.
