NAVIC

NAVIC, short for Navigation with Indian Constellation, is an autonomous satellite navigation system developed by India. Similar to GPS, NAVIC provides accurate positioning information to users within India and surrounding regions. It consists of a constellation of satellites that transmit signals to receivers on Earth, allowing them to determine their location, speed, and time. This system enhances navigation for various applications, including transportation, agriculture, and disaster management, ensuring users have reliable access to precise geographic information without relying on foreign satellite systems. NAVIC serves as a crucial part of India’s space capabilities and technological independence.
