Navigate a Better Tomorrow with Navigation and Remote Sensing Technology

There is always an unanswered question in many young minds on how weather forecasts and cyclones alerts are announced before their occurrence. However, thanks to the technology of remote sensing, which is a concept of satellites monitoring the Earth’s surface at high altitude to collect vital information of the Earth. The expansion of ozone rupture, the increase in the level of co2 in the atmosphere, and the melting rate of glaciers in the Polar Regions due to global warming are estimated with the help of this technology. Within a few minutes of forest fire incidents, scientists forecast an estimate of wildlife and vegetation loss without manually visiting the location.

Recently, the whole world is very cautious about carbon emission levels and is switching to eco-friendly, environment-friendly technologies, and sustainable energy resources. The RS technology enables the switch over to alternative sources and creates awareness for the environment.

The Remote sensing technology is the fuel behind giving all necessary estimates for urban planning and infrastructure development to agriculture monitoring and estimating the yield from the data collected by remote observation of Earth’s surface. RS technology has gone beyond estimating the groundwater level using microwave remote sensing. The skilled scientist in this area owns expertise to transform data into information for the betterment of the society and scientific community.

It is not uncommon to get lost in an unknown place, however, the navigation app in mobile handset would have come to your rescue, thanks to the navigation system which has become an integral part of the communication world, be it a mobile handset, a wearable gadget or a toy, navigation chips makes its presence. With the development of navigation technology, the area of utility has expanded from precision framing to autonomous driving and safety wearable gadgets to intelligent robots.

The aforementioned, Remote sensing and Navigation technology are emerging areas in the field of Electronics and Communication Engineering. Till recently, related studies in this field were handled by Govt. The Research organizations such as ISRO and LRDE, under national education policy, aim to trap the potential of young minds in this area by collaborating academia with research institute to promote exposure to such emerging fields.

Remote sensing and navigation research lab, set up at academia in collaborations with world-renowned research institute will not only encourage the students to research but pursue higher studies in this field.
