Abstract :
Satellite positioning technology has been widely used in all kinds of military and civil land, marine, space and aeronautical target positioning tasks, navigation activities and accurate surveying measurements since 90s in the last century due to its advantage in providing all weather, real-time, three dimensional and high precision positioning information, as well as speed and accurate timing information. This paper briefly reviews the development of the global satellite positioning and navigation technologies including the basic information of China\´s "Plough navigation system", introduces the history of satellite positioning technology and its major application fields. The paper also gives an account of the authors\´ vision for the application and prospect of the satellite positioning technologies in China, and approaches the tactics and stresses of the satellite positioning technology\´s application and its industrialization future in China.
