Pakistan Army shift from GPS to Chinese BeiDou Global Navigation Satellite System by 2020

In a bid to end the total reliance on US-based GPS system, PAK ARMY has decided to replace the American Global Positioning System (GPS) system with the CHINESE BeiDou Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) by 2020, which is expected to join the list of credible global satellite navigation system with global coverage by the year of 2020.

CHINA is expected to launch the last satellite of its indigenous BeiDou Constellation Navigation System Satellites, which will help its long-term and Strategic Ally PAKISTAN to gain benefit from it.

The CHINESE BeiDou Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is the fourth consecutive Global Satellite Based Navigation system after the US-based Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia’s GLONASS and Europe’s Galileo Satellite Navigation System.

According to the Defense Experts, the satellite-based Navigation system plays a crucial role in the modern hybrid warfare environment, as a number of countries have used the different Satellite Navigation System on their Weapons, which the native country can easily disable at its sole discretion.

Apart from using the CHINESE BeiDou Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for military navigation purposes, system can also be used for agricultural purposes as well.

The Satellite Navigation industry of Beijing is expanding considerably and Beijing expects that this industry will easily surpass the whopping 57 Billion USD or 400 Billion Yuan in the current year.
