Fast communication networks are the 21st century drivers for the use of uncrewed systems and autonomous technologies. Nothing runs, drives or flies without them. This is why the expansion of 5G and satellite-based GNSS technologies play a key role in the safe determination of position, navigation and time data (PNT). A topic that is also in focus at XPONENTIAL Europe.10.02.2025

Digitalisation, automation and connectivity: Smart solutions are essential in Agriculture 4.0. These include aerial systems for yield monitoring and automated control of operations and harvesting. The use of robots, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence in agriculture is growing rapidly. For agricultural businesses, these systems are playing an increasingly important role.13.01.2025
Some 8,000 inland navigation vessels currently transport goods on Europe’s rivers and canals. The first of these is now operating by remote control. Duisburg is a nationwide hub for autonomous inland navigation and home to DST, a development centre for marine technology and transport systems that heads up the project “FernBin” for remotely controlled, coordinated inland navigation.06.01.2025
Modern railway tracks equipped with ETCS, the European Train Control System, will form the basis for automated rail transit. At present, Siemens Mobility, Bosch Engineering, DB, TU Dresden, and six partners are testing fully automatic rail operation in the research and development project “AutomatedTrain”.05.12.2024
Critical infrastructures are vulnerable, potential threats are real and airports have been on high alert ever since climate activists started glueing themselves to runways. The new KRITIS Umbrella Act for the protection of critical infrastructures aims to ensure greater security and will enter into force on 1 January 2026.06.11.2024
