[B+ Dracula]

Iam Paindooo type of Person.....
How it can be helpful for ordinary Layman like me??

Is it fully operational???? How many sats are up?????

It covers entire Subcontinent, mainland China, IOR region, and parts of pacific ocean...

More sats are soon going up and it will become a totally "global" system in coming years.

But who cares?

Pakistan already has 100% coverage of ALL our required area....

The map shown doesnt cover 100% of Pakistan..... Thats why i raised the question on its operational percentage.... It is a gradual process

That map is old. As of now, it covers entire needs of ours. Thats why it has been declared as "operational" now...

Alrite!!!!!!

what are the military uses ..?

Missile-guidance, accurate military strikes, Air-Force satellite-guided weapons, secured-communication lines, Pakistani UAV's will have better accuracy and more clear picture of battle-space, navigation, rapid deployment of our soliders/ships/aircrafts to effectiveness...since we'll know the enemy positions etc. etc.

It is a very useful thing.

Dude.... the system is not used for any of the underlined. The only benefit is use of it's Military GPS. Which is more accurate and available at higher velocities, therefore, of use with guidance of missiles and compatible aircrafts. Most UAV's and UCAV's travel at snail's pace.... you can guide them with almost any available GPS, unless it's access is denied to the whole region.

To the underline part,

Can't U.S deny GPS availability to "specific" countries only while some "friends" of U.S are still hooked up with the GPS system?

 

[Hyperion]

Civilian signal can be denied to a geographic region (not a country) , or if some new encryption is introduced, then maybe to a specific country, however, that would require something unprecedented.

This means that all satellite guided munition is now online.

With the exception of nuclear weapons per China-Pakistan Agreement.

 

[Basel]

With the exception of nuclear weapons per China-Pakistan Agreement.

What exception??
