Navigation Systems Industry Overview
The competitive rivalry in the navigation systems market is high owing to some key players like Garmin Ltd, Honeywell International Inc., Collins Aerospace Inc., Safran Electronics & Defense Inc., and many more. Their ability to continually innovate their products through significant research and development investments has helped them achieve a competitive advantage over other players.
- In February 2023, Raytheon Company Ltd. announced that it had won USD 8.6 million contract to provide F-35 JPALS for Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). JPALS is a software-based differential Global Positioning System navigation and precision landing system. The contract was awarded by U.S. Navy. JPALS is integrated with the F-35 fighter, capable of operating, approaching, and landing on naval vessels at sea in all weather conditions.
- In January 2022, African countries joined part of the satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) because of ASECNA (Agency for Aerial Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar) efforts. SBAS is a precise and robust Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) system that eliminates the need for regional ground-based navigation aids and airport landing systems. Africa Aviation, led by ASECNA, can develop its own SBAS system to assist the airlines or aviation stakeholders.
