India’s own indigenous navigation system has hit a new milestone. The Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) is now in league with the US, China, and Russia as a recognised component of the World-Wide Radio Navigation System (WWRNS).
After two years of waiting in line, approval was finally announced by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) during its 102nd session hosted virtually between November 4 to November 11. IMO is a specialised agency under the United Nations (UN).
The Indian government has also invited proposals for the manufacturer of a million receiver chips that have GPS and NavIC. The aim is to only improve the overall signal availability of navigation systems, but also increase the use of its own desi-GSP.
