India to soon get global navigation system for ISRO, AAI

India will soon acquire a comprehensive global navigation satellite system to meet the requirements of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Airports Authority of India (AAI).

"India has tied up recently with US aerospace major Raytheon Company for the final phase of its ambitious Global Positioning Satellite-Aided Geosynchronous Augmented Navigation System (GAGAN)," said Andy Zogg, the company's vice president of Airspace Management and Homeland Security.


GAGAN will provide satellite-based navigation for civil aviation across South and
East Asia, which will provide India with "the most accurate, flexible and efficient" air navigation system deployed.
