Modernizing CNS: Emerging Technology Enablers for Airspace Evolution

Prof. Paul Febvre Professor of Space Systems Engineering / Cranfield University

The evolution of Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) systems is essential for Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) and broad adoption of 4D Trajectories. Modern airspace operations rely on secure, resilient, real time data exchange using ADS B, Mode S, VHF, SATCOM, and scalable digital architectures to support rising traffic and new unmanned systems. At the same time, GNSS jamming and spoofing threaten navigation integrity. This session examines how advanced digital CNS capabilities—multi constellation navigation, interference detection and mitigation, APNT solutions, and robust PNT architectures—integrated with 5G/6G and LEO/GEO satellites can strengthen resilience, ensure safety, and enable future data driven airspace management
