GPS Equipment and Service for the UK Ministry of Defence
NavCom Technology, Inc. announced that its strategic partner C&C Technologies, Inc. has entered into a service contract with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to provide GPS service for use in defense and government bathymetric surveying. Terms of the contract provide for C&C Technologies to supply its C-Nav GcGPS (Globally-corrected GPS) positioning services, equipment and training to the Royal Navy Hydrographic Squadron.
Through its partnership with NavCom, C&C’s C-Nav GcGPS positioning service utilizes NavCom’s StarFire Network satellite based positioning capabilities and dual frequency receivers to provide precise positioning services to the offshore exploration and marine markets. The NavCom owned and operated StarFire Network delivers reliable, real time decimeter positioning anywhere, anytime. StarFire is ideally suited for offshore work since it operates independent of distance from local ground reference stations by broadcasting precise orbit and clock corrections for every GPS satellite orbiting earth.
