Navcom
Technology
Inc
Partners
With
Astrium
Services
March
30,
2009
NavCom
Technology
Inc
and
Astrium
Services,
have
formed
a
strategic
partnership
to
deliver
precise
positioning
solutions
throughout
Europe.
Through
this
new
alliance,
Astrium
Services
will
become
the
sole
European
supplier
of
NavCom’s
GNSS
product
and
positioning
solutions,
including
the
StarFireä
Network,
NavCom’s
global
decimeter-accurate
satellite-based
augmentation
system
(GSBAS).
"By
providing
the
stand-alone
accuracy
of
the
global
StarFire™
Network
along
with
precise
positioning
solutions,
our
new
partnership
with
Astrium
Services
has
the
potential
to
bring
GSBAS
to
new
and
important
market
sectors
including
defense,
civil
security
and
aerospace,“
said
Michael
Lindsay,
Chief
Operating
Officer
for
NavCom
Technology.
"This
partnership
is
an
exciting
milestone
as
we
offer
Europe’s
premier
space
technology
firm
the
same
precise
positioning
technology,
that
has
made
John
Deere
a
world
leader
in
precision
agriculture
by
enabling
increased
machine
productivity
and
a
reduction
in
the
use
of
chemical
fertilizers
and
pesticides.
”This
agreement
perfectly
complements
our
existing
Axio-Net
Network-RTK
services
covering
Germany
which
can
provide
accuracy
to
within
2cm,
and
firmly
positions
Astrium
Services
as
the
leading
supplier
of
precise
positioning
services
in
Europe.
We
look
forward
to
integrating
this
exciting
technology
into
both
our
EADS
products,
for
example
UAVs,
and
our
services
such
as
cadastral
surveying
and
precision
mapping.”
said
Rudolf
Henneberger,
Director
of
Navigation
in
Astrium
Services.
