What do you mean by "successful". Gagan is already operational since 30 December 2013.

I meant it's attempts to become a regional brand among it's allies. Can it compete commercially with the likes of GPS? Only time will tell.

GAGAN is not an alternative for GPS ..... that will be IRNSS .

GAGAN is not standalone Navigation system, its augumented navigation based on GPS, the standalone navigation system is IRNSS.

Ah, thank you for correcting me.

GAGAN should take signal from IRNSS, GPS and GLONASS. It will be more accurate. I think other than Pakistanis and Bangladeshis other countries will use it including south east asia and middle east.

@That Guy
The article itself is wrong.

GAGAN is not the Indian equivalent of GPS. GAGAN is a SBAS - Space Based Augmentation System. It can work with GPS, Glonass, IRNSS(Indian system).

It boosts the accuracy of all GPS signals for enhanced airspace efficiency. Its a good idea to offer this to SAARC.

And it is already partially operational with the first phase live.

First they need to setup reference stations for GAGAN to work in those countries.

It has been proved to be 10 times more precise than GPS, with an accuracy of 1m! The standard accuracy of GPS is 15 m.
