SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP

The international GEOMETOC Workshop is organized as part of the Future Forces Forum 2016 with the goal to display and share the newest information, knowledge and technologies with closely associated scientific branches as Geography, Hydrology and Meteorology under one roof. Ceaselessly accelerating scientific and technical development in all industries provides significant amount of opportunities to provide GEOMETOC support in the real time mode, with high accuracy and in maximally user-friendly environment. Both, Geography and Hydrometeorology are scientific disciplines with impacts and outputs used not only in military areas. On the contrary, GEOMETOC Support is in principle essential for everyday life in working and leisure activities. Common demand for GEOMETOC data, information and products grows rapidly, especially due to abrupt, momentous and severe weather impacts.

In the recent past, GNSS technology became involved in our everyday lives. Providing crucial PVT information for positioning, navigation and time synchronization of critical networks also constitute its importance as part of the national critical infrastructure. To avoid the risk of its catastrophic failure, the vulnerabilities and potential threats have to be taken into account and appropriate measures adopted.
