Abstract: GNSS plays a crucial role in Thailand's military missions, including navigation, position tracking, and tactical planning. However, reliance on foreign GNSS systems may impact national security, necessitating Thailand's development of its own GNSS system. This article presents the working principles and components of GNSS, along with approaches for designing Thailand's GNSS system using existing infrastructure, such as using radar towers as ground stations, integrating existing GPS receivers into the system, developing small satellites, and collaborating with other countries' GPS systems. Additionally, it discusses the benefits and applications of GPS in military missions, challenges in system development, and future directions for enhancing and improving the system, expanding its use to the civilian sector, and fostering collaboration between military agencies and research institutions in the country. The goal is for Thailand to have an efficient, self-reliant GNSS system that supports sustainable national development.
