Authorised defence labs realised NavIC enabled receiver modules for strategic applications: Singh

New Delhi: Authorised defence labs have realised NavIC enabled receiver modules for strategic applications, Union minister Jitendra Singh said on Wednesday. The minister said there is also an increase in the number of NavIC enabled smart mobile phone models in the Indian market.

NavIC is an indigenous satellite based navigation system.

In a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha, Singh, who is in-charge of the Department of Space, said NavIC performance is at par with other non-Indian Global Positioning Systems and it’s a strong alternative to the non-Indian GPS within the coverage area.
