NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation)

NavIC, or Navigation with Indian Constellation, is India’s own satellite navigation system, similar to GPS used worldwide. Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), NavIC provides accurate positioning services over India and surrounding regions. It consists of a constellation of satellites that transmit signals to receivers on Earth, allowing users to determine their precise location. NavIC is particularly beneficial for navigation in difficult terrains and for applications in agriculture, transportation, and disaster management, enhancing India’s capabilities in satellite navigation technology.
