B2.1. Joint Session on Dual Use (civil and military) Aspects of Telecommunications and GNSS
This session, organised jointly by the Space Communication & Navigation Committee and the Space Security Committee ("Dual Use" Subcommittee), will address the dual use (civil and military) aspects of telecommunications and GNSS missions at programmatic, organisational and technical levels. Emphasis will be given to the lessons learned from programmes under development or in operation, particularly the bridges and barriers, and on future opportunities of such a dual approach in future programmes.
