Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin on Tuesday
offered India a joint participation in the development of the GLONASS
satellite navigation system.
GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) operated by the Russian Government is currently the only alternative to the U.S’ Global Positioning System (GPS) in operation with global coverage and precision.
"We have offered our Indian counterparts not only use of the Glonass system but also participation in upgrading it. We practically see it as a joint effort. I think our Indian counterparts will be interested in it," Rogozin was quoted as saying to Russian journalists during his current visit to New Delhi.
GPS has become increasing significant in day-to-day activities as everything from smart phones, aviation and seafaring navigation and even most social media rely on location data facilitated by GPS satellites.
Nations are building their own location technology to decrease reliance on GPS managed by the U.S in the event of a war or other geo-political confrontation.
Some countries are already in the process of developing their own global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) in space for their critical civilian and military operations.
