To provide further impetus to harmonized development of Satellite Based Navigation Systems (SBNS) across the world, India hosts here two back-to-back high-level technical meetings i.e. 4th Ionospheric Study Task Force (ISTF/4) under the aegis of ICAO and the 26th Interoperability Working Group from February 5 to 7.
ICAO ISTF has been tasked with the objective of collecting data, studying and developing region-specific ionospheric models for implementation of Satellite Based Augmented Systems (SBAS) in Asia-Pacific region. As Asia-Pacific region comprises states that lie in equatorial ionospheric region and are affected by ionospheric scintillations which may result in loss of GNSS signal, developing an appropriate algorithm to mitigate them has become necessary.
The Interoperability Working Group is the forum for SBAS service providers, set up with the objective of harmonizing the global SBAS systems and ensuring seamless navigation with inter-operable systems.
India’s initiative to host both the meetings at the same venue brought together the prospective SBAS providers and the Asia Pacific States on a single platform to support research and develop reliable and interoperable SBAS systems leading to seamless satellite navigation regardless of boundaries. India is now the fourth certified SBAS developer in the world.
