Main Body

NavIC (Navigation in Indian constellation) is India's own geographic positioning system → IRNSS (Indian regional navigation system). IRNSS / NavIC has: - Flexibility (4 in GTO, 3 in GEO orbits) → Standard Service up to 1500 km from Indian border and Restricted Service (military and civilian) Need for NavIC when other SatNav available → 1) India's own, so can be used in times of emergency and not be dependent i.e. USA denied use of GPS to India during war of 62, prompting need of NavIC. 2) Military application → sensitive information requires own navigation. 3) Can promote further innovation in this area and enhance use cases i.e. Fisherman, GAGAN for Airlines 4) Help in faster logistics, battle management for civilian applications. 5) Can be 'schopped' in Indian vehicles and equipment to enhance our logistical ability. 6) India's position as 'global science and defence hub'. i.e. India among 5 countries → Russia GLONASS, China Beidou
