Development Strategy of Chinese Satellite Navigation Technology: A Research Based on SWOT Method

In recent years, western countries have been strengthening their containment of China’s technology development in an all-round way, and the scope of technical restrictions has involved satellite navigation and other strategic emerging industries. As an important support for national security, China’s science and technology security in the field of satellite navigation is facing major challenges. The purpose of this paper is to make a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of China’s satellite navigation technology security and what opportunities and challenges it will face, and to make a qualitative analysis of all combined strategies, then to put forward suggestions for the development of China’s satellite navigation. The analysis based on the SWOT shows that, in order to prevent from major risks in the field of science and technology, and break through the West’s “encirclement” of science and technology, the optimal choices are the “SO” strategies of distinctive advantages, independent innovation, international cooperation, and industrialization. Also, a torsion strategy requires an in-depth analysis of the challenges and weaknesses. To accelerate the construction of an monitoring and pre-alarming system for science and technology security in the field of satellite navigation is a feasible solution.
