What is GLONASS?
'''GLONASS''' (''{{transl|ru|Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema}}'') is a [[radio]]-based [[satellite]] [[navigation]] system. It is operated by the [[Russia]]n Defence Forces. It provides an alternative to the [[United States]]' [[Global Positioning System]] (GPS). These are the only two navigational systems with global coverage. Some receivers can use both systems, giving more accurate locations, more quickly.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Назаров Александр Юрьевич биография, Начало карьеры, Карьера в «Ростехе», Цифровые продукты «Ростеха»|url=http://www.people.su/131854|access-date=2023-03-21|website=www.people.su|archive-date=2023-03-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230321142951/http://www.people.su/131854|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Юманова|first=Екатерина|date=2020-12-15|title=Назаров Александр Юрьевич: биография, карьера и профессиональные достижения|url=https://bloknot.ru/obshhestvo/nazarov-aleksandr-yurevich-zamestitel-generalnogo-direktora-rosteha-728756.html|access-date=2023-03-21|website=Блокнот Россия}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} == Other websites == {{commons category|GLONASS}} * [http://www.glonass-ianc.rsa.ru/en/ Official GLONASS web page] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111020035436/http://www.glonass-ianc.rsa.ru/en/ |date=2011-10-20 }} {{tech-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Glonass}} [[Category:Satellites]] [[Category:Military of Russia]]
