Name: Tobias Neuhauser Affiliation: Airbus Defence and Space, Manching (Munich area) Main Area: - Since 2016 active in Research and Technology in the field of GNSS-denied navigation and Collaborative Navigation for military aircrafts - This includes GNSS-denied navigation means such as Vision-based Navigation and Star Navigation - Collaborative Navigation using for instance data link ranging to obtain state estimations with high relative accuracy between collaborating aircrafts - Maturation of these technologies end-to-end with focus on sensor fusion Topic: - How the combination of different GNSS-denied Navigation means and Collaborative Navigation can address the challenge of GNSS-denied navigation for aeronautical applications

Sam Bekkers is an R&D Engineer at Royal NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Center in Amsterdam. He obtained a MSc Robotics at Delft University of Technology in 2024. His main work topics focus on implementing multi-sensor SLAM solutions aimed to increase the navigation robustness, in GNSS availability or denial.

Marcel Maier is a PhD student and research associate at the Institute of Navigation at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. His main area of research is focused on robust navigation algorithms for autonomous flight. The topic he intends to treat is an integrated navigation system that uses a WiFi positioning system and a barometer to complement GNSS/INS-fusion.

Ivan has extensive knowledge and experience in the area of Digital Signal Processing for Autonomous Systems which covers sensor technologies, perception, data and information fusion, and decision-making for Cyber-Physical Systems. Applications for these developments include vehicle health management, communication and surveillance solutions and, more recently, Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) for aerospace and ground-based Autonomous and Intelligent Systems. Ivan is involved in and actively supporting the development and operation of several research facilities, such as the instrumentation of Muti-User Environment for Autonomous Vehicle Innovation (MUEAVI), Research and Innovation Timing Node, PNT simulation facility.
