DGON Inertial Sensors and Applications 2026

About DGON Inertial Sensors and Applications

DGON Inertial Sensors and Applications is an inertial sensing and navigation symposium scheduled for 6 October–7 October 2026 at Steigenberger Parkhotel, Braunschweig, Germany. What distinguishes the event is that it places gyroscopes and inertial measurement alongside the aiding sensors required by modern navigation architectures. The published format uses technical presentations and professional exchange focused on components, complete systems, testing and integrated navigation. This structure lets participants follow the relationship between inertial sensors and gyroscopes and integrated navigation systems, while also seeing how GNSS and sensor aiding affects real systems and programmes. DGON Inertial Sensors and Applications is relevant to space and aerospace organisations because launch vehicles, spacecraft, aircraft and autonomous platforms need resilient navigation when satellite signals are degraded or unavailable. The inertial-sensing symposium should therefore be read through its primary technical identity, not described as a generic space conference. The current DGON Inertial Sensors and Applications programme remains the authority for individual sessions, contributors and access arrangements.

Event history and organiser

DGON ISA is a recurring specialist meeting for inertial sensor technology, navigation systems and their applications. Current information for this inertial-sensing symposium is published by German Institute of Navigation (DGON) and TU Braunschweig Institute of Flight Guidance. The 2026 meeting at Steigenberger Parkhotel, Braunschweig, Germany gives this inertial-sensing symposium a specific setting; it does not imply that every earlier programme, contributor or participation condition will repeat. Its continuing identity rests on inertial sensors and gyroscopes, integrated navigation systems and the specialist community working across those areas. The development of this inertial-sensing symposium also reflects a wider shift towards GNSS and sensor aiding in aerospace and adjacent technical sectors. For DGON Inertial Sensors and Applications 2026, German Institute of Navigation (DGON) and TU Braunschweig Institute of Flight Guidance is the authority for current edition facts, while the linked institutional source provides context for the event family and organising relationship.

Topics and themes

The 2026 programme connects its central subjects through the event’s inertial sensing and navigation symposium format, giving each theme a clear relationship to the wider technical purpose.

• Inertial sensors and gyroscopes: the programme connects integrated navigation systems with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by navigation engineers.
• Integrated navigation systems: the programme connects GNSS and sensor aiding with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by inertial-sensor developers.
• GNSS and sensor aiding: the programme connects test and calibration methods with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by guidance and control teams.
• Test and calibration methods: the programme connects navigation component development with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by test specialists.
• Navigation component development: the programme connects inertial sensors and gyroscopes with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by aerospace systems researchers.

Who should attend?

The inertial-sensing symposium is principally for navigation engineers, inertial-sensor developers and guidance and control teams. These groups can use its programme to compare work on inertial sensors and gyroscopes with developments in integrated navigation systems, identify relevant research or suppliers and understand the constraints shaping implementation. Test specialists bring a complementary perspective where the programme reaches GNSS and sensor aiding, while aerospace systems researchers may find value in sessions closest to their current responsibilities. The inertial-sensing symposium is less suitable for unrelated general-interest visits because its usefulness depends on a defined technical or professional connection. Prospective attendees should check the current programme before registering. For DGON Inertial Sensors and Applications 2026, a direct match between programme and professional role matters more than broad sector interest alone.
