Vithiyapathy P.During Kargil War, India realised its inevitable need for developing its own Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), to meet both civil and military requirements. The unique stationary indigenous Hawk-eye: IRNSS will effectively assist India in monitoring, aviation and military operations in the region. Its precision guidance will ensure uninterrupted service for both civil and military needs. By this success, India becomes a country that stands by its own technology in GNSS and SBAS. Therefore, IRNSS adds a feather in a crown of India’s technological advancement.Vithiyapathy P.: Vithiyapathy P. is a Research Officer at the Chennai Centre for China Studies.
