generate a composite navigation route based on the non-terrestrial navigation route and the ground navigation route for continuously guiding the multimodal vehicle over the non-terrestrial travel segment and the ground travel segment, wherein the non-terrestrial navigation route is selected according to a road traffic condition of the ground travel segment; and

a storage unit including memory, coupled to the control unit, configured to store the composite navigation route.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to generate the composite navigation route based on selecting the ground navigation route according to a non-terrestrial traffic condition.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to generate the composite navigation route based on selecting the ground navigation route, the non-terrestrial navigation route, or a combination thereof according to a resource constraint.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to generate the composite navigation route based on selecting the non-terrestrial navigation route according to a holding pattern associated with the mode-transition point.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to:

generate a geo-dome around a destination; and

generate the composite navigation route to the destination based on a road traffic condition within the geo-dome.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the control unit is further configured to determine the mode-transition point based on a current location, a destination, or a combination thereof.

7. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

calculating a non-terrestrial navigation route for guiding a multimodal vehicle during a non-terrestrial travel segment;

calculating a ground navigation route for guiding the multimodal vehicle during a ground travel segment beyond a mode-transition point; and

generating with a control unit including at least one processor, a composite navigation route based on the non-terrestrial navigation route and the ground navigation route for communicating the composite navigation route and continuously guiding the multimodal vehicle over the non-terrestrial travel segment and the ground travel segment, wherein the non-terrestrial navigation route is selected according to a road traffic condition of the ground travel segment.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein generating the composite navigation route includes selecting the ground navigation route according to a non-terrestrial traffic condition.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein generating the composite navigation route includes selecting the ground navigation route, the non-terrestrial navigation route, or a combination thereof according to a resource constraint.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein generating the composite navigation route includes selecting the non-terrestrial navigation route according to a holding pattern associated with the mode-transition point.

11. The method as claimed in claim 7 further comprising:

generating a geo-dome around a destination; and

generating the composite navigation route to the destination based on a road traffic condition within the geo-dome.

12. The method as claimed in claim 7 further comprising determining the mode-transition point based on a current location, a destination, or a combination thereof.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium, including instructions for execution, comprising:

calculating a non-terrestrial navigation route for guiding a multimodal vehicle during a non-terrestrial travel segment;

calculating a ground navigation route for guiding the multimodal vehicle during a ground travel segment beyond a mode-transition point; and

generating a composite navigation route based on the non-terrestrial navigation route and the ground navigation route for communicating the composite navigation route and continuously guiding the multimodal vehicle over the non-terrestrial travel segment and the ground travel segment, wherein the non-terrestrial navigation route is selected according to a road traffic condition of the ground travel segment.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 13 wherein generating the composite navigation route includes selecting the ground navigation route according to a non-terrestrial traffic condition.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 13 wherein generating the composite navigation route includes selecting the ground navigation route, the non-terrestrial navigation route, or a combination thereof according to a resource constraint.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 13 wherein generating the composite navigation route includes selecting the non-terrestrial navigation route according to a holding pattern associated with the mode-transition point.
