Status, Plans and Policy of the GLONASS for Civil Applications

N. Ivanov, V. Salischev

Abstract:	Principal characteristics of the GLONASS system, its status and deployment outlook are presented. Comparison of the main characteristics of the GPS/GLONASS systems from the user’s viewpoint are also presented. Proposals focused on the operations required for navigation determination and accuracy improvement. Details of combined equipment is also given. The data presented was received simultaneously on the user’s GLONASS equipment and the GP-SO0 unit using the GPS system and indicate that navigational determination accuracies of both systems are approximately equal. The key characteristics of the six-channel user’s equipment for civil aircrafts and helicopters is presented. The above mentioned equipment was being developed at ISDE in accordance with the ARINC standard draft on the combined system. The principal directions of the accuracy characteristic of the GLONASS system updating are considered. It’s suggested to use the quantum - optical measurements on the Etalon satellite launched in GLONASS satellite orbit, to improve the accuracy of the emphemeris information. Questions concerning the user’s supplying of the system integrity and differential corrections information are discussed.
