Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

NaviC : the Navigator





And here is how NaviC  will navigate us :







Extract :


*   The navigation system will help in terrestrial, aerial and marine navigation. It will also help people track vehicles, manage fleets and disasters as well as map and capture geological data


*   India's desi navigation will challenge foreign GPS systems as it is considered to be more accurate with a position accuracy of five metres. The GPS has a position accuracy of 20-30 metres.


*   The Request for Proposal (RFP) has been called to start the implementation of NavIC. Once it is launched officially, the platform will be popularized, according to IT secretary Ajay Prakash Sawhney.


*   The NavIC can be embedded on chips and other devices as well as on vehicle navigation systems.






Dear Shri Sawhneyji :



                                      
 

I urge you to consider following as  RPF for NaviC   :

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, NavIC, which stands for Navigation with Indian Constellation, is the regional satellite navigation system developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). NavIC aims to provide positioning, navigation, and timing services to users in India and the surrounding region.

To become a global navigation tool, NavIC would need to expand its coverage beyond the regional scope. While NavIC was primarily designed to serve the Indian subcontinent, there have been discussions and plans to extend its coverage globally. Here are some of the key points that could contribute to NavIC's potential as a global navigation tool:

  1. Satellite Constellation: NavIC relies on a constellation of satellites in geostationary and geosynchronous orbits. Currently, the system comprises seven satellites, with four in geostationary orbit and three in inclined geosynchronous orbit. Increasing the number of satellites and optimizing their distribution could enhance coverage over a wider area, making it more suitable for global navigation.

  2. Performance and Accuracy: NavIC offers positioning accuracy of around 5-10 meters for civilian users and even better for military users. To compete with other global navigation systems like GPS (United States), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (European Union), and BeiDou (China), NavIC would need to further improve its performance and accuracy. Technological advancements and refinements could be essential in achieving this.

  3. International Collaboration: Collaborating with other countries or international organizations could help NavIC expand its global reach. This collaboration might involve sharing infrastructure, data, and technologies. Partnering with other regional navigation systems or integrating with existing global systems could also enhance the global capabilities of NavIC.

  4. User Adoption: For NavIC to become a global navigation tool, widespread user adoption would be crucial. Encouraging device manufacturers, automobile companies, and other technology providers to integrate NavIC receivers into their products would help increase its user base. This would require compatibility, support, and incentives for developers and businesses to incorporate NavIC into their applications and services.

  5. International Standards: Adhering to international standards for satellite navigation and ensuring interoperability with existing systems would be important for NavIC's global acceptance. Alignment with standards such as those defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) would facilitate cooperation and compatibility with other navigation systems.

It's important to note that my information is based on data available up until September 2021. Please consider referring to the latest sources and updates from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for the most accurate and up-to-date information on NavIC's progress towards becoming a global navigation tool.
