[pib] IRNSS now part of World Wide Radio Navigation System
The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) has been accepted as a component of the World Wide Radio Navigation System (WWRNS) for operation in the Indian Ocean Region by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
What is IRNSS?
The IRNSS, with an operational name of NavIC (acronym for Navigation with Indian Constellation) is an Indian regional satellite navigation system that provides accurate real-time positioning and timing services.
It covers India and a region extending 1,500 km around it, with plans for further extension.
The system currently consists of a constellation of seven satellites, with two additional satellites on ground as stand-by.
The constellation is in orbit as of 2018, and the system was expected to be operational from early 2018 after a system check.
It will provide two levels of service, the "standard positioning service", which will be open for civilian use, and a "restricted service" (an encrypted one) for authorised users (including the military).
Benefits of the move
This move will enable merchant vessels to use IRNSS for obtaining position information similar to GPS and GLONASS.
This will assist in the navigation of ships in Indian ocean waters within the area covered by 50N latitude, 55E longitude, 5S latitude and 110E longitude (approximately up to 1500 km from Indian boundary).
Back2Basics: International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
IMO is the UN specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine pollution by ships.
Its primary purpose is to develop and maintain a comprehensive regulatory framework for shipping and its remit today includes safety, environmental concerns, legal matters, technical co-operation, maritime security and the efficiency of shipping.
IMO is governed by an assembly of members and is financially administered by a council of members elected from the assembly.

CHINA'S ’s USE OF ‘MICROWAVE WEAPONS’
The Indian Army has rejected a report in the British daily newspaper which claimed that the Chinese army had used "microwave weapons" to drive Indian soldiers away from their positions in eastern Ladakh.
The use of non-lethal weapons for violence and mob control is a contested issue. Can you suggest some alternatives to it apart from the use of water cannon and teargas?
What are "Microwave Weapons"?
Microwave weapons are supposed to be a type of direct energy weapons, which aim highly focused energy in the form of sonic, laser, or microwaves, at a target.
It uses a focussed beam of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation to heat the water in a human target's skin, causing pain and discomfort.
In a microwave oven, an electron tube called a magnetron produces electromagnetic waves (microwaves) that bounce around the metal interior of the appliance, and are absorbed by the food.
The microwaves agitate the water molecules in the food, and their vibration produces heat that cooks the food.
Food with high water content cooks faster in a microwave often than drier foods.
Which countries have these "microwave weapons"?
A number of countries are thought to have developed these weapons to target both humans and electronic systems.
According to a report, China had first put on display its "microwave weapon", called Poly WB-1, at an air show in 2014.
The United States has also developed a prototype microwave-style weapon, which it calls the "Active Denial System".
How dangerous are these weapons?
Concerns have been raised on whether they can damage the eyes, or have a carcinogenic impact in the long term.
It is not clear yet how China intends to use such a weapon, and whether it can kill or cause lasting damage to human targets.
