From International Astronautical Federation
 Tuesday 28 September 2010 14:00-15:00 The purpose of this plenary is to demonstrate the worldwide importance of satellite navigation systems to the public, to industry (specifically including transportation) and to the military. Satellite navigation has grown over the past two decades from a single system for limited uses to one in which, in the current decade, there will be six systems, many augmented by complementary terrestrial systems, that provide a tremendous range of services. Under some circumstances, position determination accuracy of less than a centimeter will be achievable. Position location chips are being routinely incorporated into automotive vehicles, hand held cellular devices and surveying instruments while satellite navigation is being incorporated into automated aircraft landing, military operations, and many other systems. It is certainly a space technology that has directly provided tremendous human benefits.
