In addition to the national ground infrastructure network, Geoscience Australia will
deliver a satellite positioning capability. This will improve the accuracy (ten
centimetres), integrity and availability of positioning data across Australia and its
maritime jurisdiction. The Satellite Based Augmentation System is an international
standard used to deliver precise and high-integrity positioning, navigation and timing
data via satellite. This will support regional Australia and sectors such as the aviation
and maritime sectors.
