Further, GAGAN is the first system in the world that is being developed to serve the equatorial anomaly region with its unique IONO algorithm designed and developed by scientists and experts from ISRO & AAI in collaboration with Raytheon.
The certification process of the system is under way.
As the footprint of the GAGAN space segment covers large portion of the Asia-Pacific region i.e., the whole of Indian region and neighboring countries such as Srilanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh, all these states can derive benefit of the system to provide SBAS services by appropriately augmenting ground segments.
The GAGAN is designed to provide the additional accuracy, availability, and integrity necessary to enable users to rely on GPS for all phases of flight, from en route through approach for all qualified airports within the GAGAN service volume. GAGAN will also provide the capability for increased accuracy in position reporting, allowing for more uniform and high-quality Air Traffic Management (ATM).
In addition, GAGAN will provide benefits beyond aviation to all modes of transportation, including maritime, highways, railroads and public services such as defense services, security agencies, telecom industry and personal users of position location applications.
