Raytheon eyes India's global navigation system for ISRO, AAI Saturday, 16 August , 2008, 14:07
New Delhi: A US defence major Raytheon would make a bid for a satellite-based navigation system for the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Raytheon along with its Indian partners would bid for the system wit h its Geosynchronous Augmented Navigation System (GAGAN) project, company's vice president for Airspace Management and Homeland Security Andy Zogg said in a statement.
Raytheon will lead the team to deliver the GAGAN solution to AAI and ISRO. GAGAN is expected to 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.
“We look forward to continuing our collaborative relationship with ISRO and AAI during this critical phase of GAGAN,” Zogg said, promising that the company was committed to a thorough transfer of knowledge of GAGAN to further enhance India's leadershi p position in air navigation.
In November last year, Raytheon had announced the successful completion of the final system acceptance test to augment standard Global Positioning System signals over India. The Indian partners in the GAGAN project would be Accord Software and Systems f rom Bangalore for Global Positioning System (GPS)-based user-receiver prototype development optimised for equatorial region, and Elcome Technologies from Gurgaon for logistical and on-site support, he said.
