Objectives of the task

Based on the development of different testbeds worldwide for the testing of R-Mode technologies (MF and VHF), a coordination shall take place in order to use synergies between the test areas and to make the results available to the IALA members in a comparable form.

Expected outcome

Shared Information about R-Mode testbeds and documented results of trials available at the IALA-AISM Website for E-NAVIGATION TESTBEDS http://www.iala-aism.org/technical/e-nav-testbeds/ or/and a suitable platform

Strategic Alignment

Goal: G1

Strategy: S3

Scope (Describe key items that are in scope/out of scope)

The results of R-Mode research and developments activities as well as availability of R-Mode testbeds shall be shared between the IALA members to speed up the development process. All available information should be collected on a platform that allows easy access to it.

All testbeds shall be described clearly follow the IALA Guideline 1107 “Planning and reporting of e-Navigation Testbeds”

The testbeds should be suitable for investigating open technical problems and finding answers to them.

Expected Sessions for Completion:

Session number:

1                 2                    3                 4                    5                    6                       7

Brief and concise description of the work to be undertaken and programme milestones where appropriate.

Key milestones / Remaining key milestones for completing the task include:

• Define a suitable platform for the coordination of R-Mode testbed activities.
• Prepare a draft template for the description of R-Mode Testbeds following the IALA Guideline 1107 “Planning and reporting of e-Navigation Testbeds” which considers the testbed coordination approach.
• Present the draft template as input document to ENG9 Meeting in March 2019
• Motivate preferably all actors working within the scope of R-Mode technologies  to participate on the Workshop on R-Mode in 2019 (probably in June or July 2019)
• Monitor and support the final creation of testbed descriptions for all available testbeds (the content itself it task of each testbed operator)
• Monitor changings as well as updates with a specific focus on the provision of testbed results
• Keep content of coordination platform up-to-date
