Subject	Topic	Quote
Business		GP&C is in stiff competition with its American developed counterparts, Mode-S, TCAS, and the many other systems currently being used for data link or ground based communication. (references)
		One notable exception is the technology that has been developed under the guidance of Swedish scientist Hakan Lans. The Global Positioning and Communication System (GP&C) is an "intelligent data link" which can be installed in aircraft to provide identification and highly accurate data on latitude and longitude, altitude, heading and time. Lans believes that GP&C has the capability of replacing any navigational aids currently in existence, while also providing a data link, precision approach capability, and collision avoidance in the air and on the ground.
