The way to go forward will be to work with the GLONASS system while conucting one's own research. Eventually India needs to have its own system in place with regional coverage while dove-tailing with existing sytems for coverage elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-76080337587635448792012-11-24T00:50:51.810-08:002012-11-24T00:50:51.810-08:00I know this is a late reaction but I think still r...I know this is a late reaction but I think still relevant -<br /><br />Selective Availability for the GPS system was turned off in May 2000 globally. So now the accuracy GPS signal is the same for both civilian as well as the US military i.e. about 20m. However what the US has is the ability to selectively switch off the GPS signal where ever they want globally.<br />So now that the GAGAN system is dependent on the GPS have we gotten into any agreement with the US that guarantees GPS coverage?<br />If not, then dependence on GAGAN for navigation and weapon guidance would be foolhardy as the US could pull the rug from under our feet whenever they please. <br />Yes, there always GLONASS from our old allies the Russians, but the GLONASS system is an untested entity and considering their current economic condition depending on it for day-to-day navigation let alone a military conflict would not be wise.<br /><br />Old CrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-41192486361874050722012-09-06T21:50:04.506-07:002012-09-06T21:50:04.506-07:00There is noticeably a bundle to know about this.

MoD sources tell Business Standard that the matter remains “under discussion”.<br /><br />Q1: Has USA shared the similar Military Grade GPS secure code with India ? As US says it wants to become strategic partner of India ? How much pain they are willing to take in terms of sharing latest technologies and GPS military grade signals with Indian Armed Forces ?<br /><br />Q2: How safe is the GAGAN/IRNASS signals? i.e. The same signal/security can not be broken by China or Pakistan..so that Chinese and Paki missiles do not get access to these accurate signals to precision strike Indian locations ? <br /><br />Especially since Pakistan's ISI is infiltrating in Indian High tech Defense Research and Production companies using their brainwashed cells and Then technologies/tools/systems developed here are finding it's way to Chinese Military Research companies..thru these Paki channels...?<br /><br />US had been very worried & skeptical about this problem in India and has so far not agreed to Transfer any Latest/Complex technologies to India as yet.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Indiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-3705213031257380532012-09-03T00:05:12.713-07:002012-09-03T00:05:12.713-07:00GAGAN will be a lame duck in case GPS goes SA agai...GAGAN will be a lame duck in case GPS goes SA again - meaning if GPS signals are shut off over the Indian subcontinent or random errors are introduced. Since GAGAN is pure augmentation, with GPS behaving erratically it will be useless. GAGAN does not augment Glonass, nor will it augment IRNSS.<br /><br />We need independent 1m positioning. IRNSS must be enhanced for that.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-23721086409832582232012-09-02T22:20:31.494-07:002012-09-02T22:20:31.494-07:00Wow.
