The Beidou system__named after the Chinese term for the Big Dipper constellation__works on a network of about 30 satellites and competes with the US's Global Positioning System (GPS),Russia's GLONASS and the European Union's Galileo...!
The Last few Batches of satellites for the BeiDou navigation system were Launched Earlier this year and it is now Ready to provide services Globally...!
China’s New Beidou Navigation system will not only rival the United States GPS, but also Russia’s GLONASS,& EU’s Galileo...!
More than a hundred countries including Pakistan have already Started using the system & have become a part of the Belt and Road Initiative...!
The BeiDou project invovled more than 300,000 Scientists,Engineers,& technicians from 400 Different domesitc institues and universities...!
The Project had been under Development since the 1990s and has finally been completed in 2020...!
Experts briefs Chinese media that___!
The completion of BeiDou-3 was due to the fact that core Technologies Cannot be bought or begged from other countries...!
its all because china always wanted to create & use their own technology & all secret equipments in their own new Navigation System...!
This sytem Reduces Reliance on Foreign Navigation Systems and it was revealed that...!
By the End of 2019 in the Chinese mainland,more than 6.5 million road vehicles, 40,000 postal and express delivery vehicles, 80,000 buses in 36 major cities, 3,200 inland navigation facilities, and 2,900 marine navigation facilities had adopted the BDS, forming the World’s Largest dynamic monitoring system for Road vehicles...!
The completion of the Beidou network will also be of benefit to China's military...!
China has poured about $10 billion into the Beidou system, to keep the communication networks of the country´s military secure and avoid the risk of disruption...!
Technically,Beidou is capable of replacing GPS, for example in wartime if the United States cuts off access to GPS in China,*said Chen Lan*,an analyst specialising in the Chinese space programme...!
China's military also uses it to guide missiles and fly drones...!
This is a big investment from China and makes China independent of US and European systems...!
