NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation)

NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation)
  • During recent operations, India successfully deployed NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) across multiple combat domains, including missile guidance, drone navigation, and battle damage assessment.
  • Developed by ISRO, NavIC—formerly known as the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)—offers precise Position, Velocity, and Timing (PVT) services across India and up to 1,500 km beyond its borders.
  • The constellation comprises seven satellites: three in geostationary and four in inclined geosynchronous orbits, transmitting dual-band signals (L5 and S-band), with encrypted channels reserved for military use.
  • NavIC ensures secure navigation for defense operations, independent of foreign systems like GPS, which was notably denied to India during the 1999 Kargil conflict.
  • Its robust, anti-jamming capability and fast signal acquisition offer superior accuracy in the region. With the new NVS satellite series, NavIC is expanding to better cover the Indian Ocean Region.
  • Future plans include integration with hypersonic weapons and forming a digital backbone for India's defense space infrastructure.
