(Posted 04th September 2026)
I have the honour to invite you to participate in the ICAO Air Navigation World 2026 – Communications, Navigation, Surveillance, and Spectrum Symposium (CNSS), taking place from 12 to 15 October 2026 in Kotor, Montenegro, generously hosted by the International Federation of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Associations (IFATSEA).
This event comes at an important time for the global air navigation community. As aviation evolves through digitalization and emerging technologies, CNSS 2026 will explore key developments in communications, navigation and surveillance, while addressing critical challenges such as GNSS radio-frequency interference, spectrum protection and radio altimeter interference.
Through technical sessions, expert discussions and networking opportunities, participants will gain practical insights, share operational experience and engage with experts from across the global CNS community.
Event Highlight: Advancing CNS Innovation
CNSS 2026 will offer a comprehensive look at the technologies shaping the next generation of air navigation — from space-based communications and advanced SATCOM to LDACS, modern IP networks, GNSS resilience and advanced surveillance technologies. The programme will also examine emerging spectrum challenges and practical implementation considerations, providing a valuable opportunity to exchange lessons learned and explore how these developments can contribute to safer, smarter and more resilient air navigation.
CNSS 2026 will be particularly relevant for:
- Civil aviation authorities and regulators involved in CNS and spectrum management
- Air navigation service providers and aviation technical professionals
- Airlines, airport operators, industry, academia and research organizations
- ATSEP and other professionals working across the CNS community
