New Delhi: The Indian government plans to offer its newly-developed Gagan (GPS-aided geo augmented navigation) system to Southeast Asian countries to generate financial resources and showcase the country's next generation navigation and survelliance technologies.
Gagan is a satellite-based augmentation system which helps aircraft navigate by GPS, hitherto seen in passenger cars. It offers free enhanced satellite navigation signals over India that are 10 times more precise than GPS.
The advanced features of the system provide better accuracy, integrity and continuity of navigation services for various applications in the civil aviation sector by using data from satellites rather than ground-based radar tracking systems.
"Currently AAI is working on show casing the technology to interested parties. The government is also in favour of sharing the new technology that can also be used in non-aviation sectors," a senior official of the Airports Authority of India told IANS at its Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan headquarters here.
