Canadian e-Navigation Architecture/LEO
This brief presentation will aim to share thoughts on how various communication conduits as well as e-navigation related initiatives like Single Window and PortCDM can be integrated into the e-navigation architecture of shore-based authorities. Of particular interest will be the role new Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations can play in e-navigation and how they might enable secure digital exchanges in the maritime world. The presentation aims to provide an overview of how various moving pieces can fit together to solve the e-navigation puzzle.
