Greetings from the Centre for Aerospace and Defence Laws (CADL), NALSAR University of Law! Thank you for your support and making our previous Webinars a huge success.
Can anyone imagine how it would be without the existence of digital maps when you visit a new place or when you want to visit a new place? Most of us would not imagine it. Maps have been the most powerful medium of information and navigation to understand various location parameters across the globe. With the advent of technology, digital maps are widely used and is the common mode of navigation which uses technologies like big data, artificial intelligence, internet of things and other navigation-based technologies.
This spatial component is used in various sectors including the location-based infrastructure, Disaster management, agriculture, environment assessment, health care, e-governance and many more. Research reveals that the global spatial market has an estimated value of USD 78 million, thriving at a CAGR of 16.6% during the assessment period from 2016 through 2022.
With this in mind, CADL, NALSAR University of Law will hold its next webinar in “Aerospace and Defence Law Lecture Series” titled “Application of GIS and Remote Sensing Technologies: Trends and Prospects” on Saturday, 25th July 2020 at 5:00 PM IST.
