Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is a satellite-based navigation system that provides accuracy, integrity, and availability of navigation signals for aviation users. It is a form of differential GPS (DGPS) that uses a network of ground-based reference stations to measure and transmit corrections to GPS signals. WAAS is used to improve the accuracy of GPS signals for aircraft navigation and other applications. It is also used to provide integrity monitoring and alerting for GPS signals, which is important for safety-critical applications. WAAS is a key component of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). WAAS is used in a variety of applications, including aviation, surveying, mapping, and precision agriculture. It is also used in the automotive industry for navigation and driver assistance systems. WAAS is also used in the maritime industry for navigation and vessel tracking. Companies in the WAAS market include Garmin, Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Thales, and Trimble. Show Less Read more
