This talk is focused on the indigenous development of GPS & India’s new Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) system based upper atmospheric sounding system. It can transmit real-time atmospheric data (temperature, pressure, wind speed, and wind direction to ground station at 400-406 Mhz and frequency sampling at 1 s up to a height of 30 km with a Horizontal radius of 250 kms in various encryption formats. The end users are paramilitary forces (BSF), Army, Air Force, Indian Navy, IMD, and ISRO centres spread across India. Both receiver and transmitter are being developed along with suitable communication and self-designed encryption and software for real-time data acquisition and streaming data analytics.
