The objective of the symposium is to provide ASECNA, as well as all the relevant air navigation service providers, with an overview on future techniques and technologies which may support air navigation services.

The purpose is to help them identify the resources to be used as part of the new strategic plan of air navigation equipments for the AFI Region.
