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:

• Identify most important topics for the workshop
• Define workshop target group of external experts and IALA members
• Review of ongoing R-Mode activities
• Ask and invite experts to prepare elaborated proposals for the discussions on the workshop
• On the workshop: Discuss about most suitable approaches for the R-Mode implementation
• On the workshop: Identify further key issues (unsolved issues) to solve in the next future
• On the workshop: Develop a roadmap (technology and standardisation) for the implementation of R-Mode as alternative PNT System
• The workshop is being considered as an opportunity to form agreements on the way forward and it is clear that work to develop ideas and proposals is needed to ensure the topics are suitably mature to enable decisions to be made
• Prepare input to IALA committees
