Global Satellite Navigation Systems - International Financing and Institutional Arrangements

Maurice A. Gamester

Abstract:	In May 1988, ICAO's Future Air Navigation Systems Committee (FANS) produced a "Global CNS Concept" which Is based in large measure upon an evolutionary implementation of satellite-based aeronautical Communications, Navigation and Surveillance facilitates (CHS) up to the year 2010 AD. In the early years of the 1990's ICAO will develop a coordinated program for the near-term development of aviation operational requirements, CNS systems technical specifications and :related trials and implementation planning. To date, however, the civil aviation community has yet to address - let alone find answers to - so-called "Institutional Issues" implicit In the proposed transition from today's terrestrially based limited coverage facilities, to the projected new aeronautical satellite CHS services capable of providing regional or global coverage. The advent of such new aeronautical navigation services concepts, brings with It a need for complete re-consideration of the traditional role of Individual ATS Provider States as owners and operators of nationally-funded CHS facilities and, also, of their legal liabilities, contractual relationships and cost-recovery policies, vls-a-vts prospective satellite services providers, the airlines and other civil aviation systems users.
