a rally by protesters demanding plans to political change demonstrators have been camping out and they have squared weeks calling for swift reforms on february seventh. and those are the headlines up next it's our spotlight with. hello again or welcome to spotlight the interview show on r.t.e. i'm al gore and today my guest is. g.p.s. the global positioning system developed in the united states has long been the only

functioning and reliable worldwide navigation system put recently russia introduced its own system called globe the us its satellites are meant to see areas where g.p.s. doesn't get that they could guide us from space every inch of terrain but as it happens i mean the development and the cop ration care is a director general of the announced delegation systems. the grown ass positioning system has been functioning put two years in this short time it's had some positive feedback from outside of russia the swedish company says glonass operates better than g.p.s. in northern latitudes but there have been some problems with atlanta satellites three new ones crashed into the ocean on their way to the orbit this accident cost some space officials their jobs and the criticism from the president.

well after this criticism from the president that we just heard. today the the serious of scandals connected to to development was there a major rethink of the project will there be any change in the glow nuts program. first of all i would like to point out the the go on hours and any settle it in a given system is a very complex. technical system and. sometimes these kind of accidents happen so in the future we are not planning to change to change our projects. we believe the project is very well but a success very good is successful and the major tasks where following are now. the. beat up of this speeding up of

development of the system and the limitation well the the total fool each of satellites for global should be twenty four you know you lost three said lies recently you planning to launch new ones when will you get your twenty four satellites and this year we're planning to launch six more said lloyd's and now we have twenty or so one set of words in the orbit. there are three backup satellites on the one and you settle a new generation of satellites which is which is being tested the moment. we believe. in a few months who will her for trying to for a set of words this number is enough to cover the goal so by the end of this year you will be fully equipped and ready to ready to to to cover the great by the end of the year we will have even one set of words including some work

up so little of that couple ok the well as far as i remember the argument when they started developing the system was that it's needed for the armed forces will be there because a great superpower as russia is having its big armed forces could rely on a foreign positioning system so that today the russian armed forces are not yet equipped with us when will glow in our spare positions systems become standard issues for the russian army what will it become independent from there from the american g.p.s. in fact it is a independent already. for the courage of russia we need only. he to unsettle its medium said words as enough to cover the russian territory but now i'm we develop the end user equipment that can work with two systems with one

nasa engineers. these dual system equipment. as we believe. give the cost of the user more reliability and accuracy so this is the major technology technology culture around the biggest instead though it may be given. the usage of the use of two system one. i just just crossed my mind that would have been a very good answer for example if you said that the russian army uses learners on its own territory to position and the army russian army doesn't need a positioning system outside the russian jerry that it would have been explained at i hope so by the way and we all hope so ok well as to gloat a sign like those eighteen or whatever you have today nineteen they are already used today intensively i mean they are functioning or they just ready to start being operational the can some of the conciliation the set of ways to be used but

now we need to develop the. chipsets. for the devices to be used. for different applications. so within two or three years. we're supposed to develop if you would different. devices for this evil. purposes for the military purposes for fleet management system so for many others so when they started developing learned here they said well a g.p.s. is ok but the two systems together will give super precision when they work together in cart ration i could like one it will allow us to position people whoever up to inches well glenn ass is being developed g.p.s. itself is very developed today where for example in your car wherever it gives you

a couple of years this is more than enough do people have to meet to pay more i mean they did the users the consumers to get even better precision they don't need it real or they do it depends on the case and because of for many politicians where mission critical. you need better preseason better accuracy to go on hours appears have been used for many years already and look what where do you need inches you need inches for a geodesic implications for cryptography for us that application when you need inches just as you mentioned but. in these professional occasions dual system equipment gone are the peers have been used for many years already but for the consumer market the go on os. is just about to be used. gives the go on our g.p.s.

equipment works better. in the sitter's when the big buildings calls us. due to the. better accuracy really believed to you can see more subtle ways. and also. works better. in the mountains for example which is also very important for some people kitchens. so. g.p.s. is not really perfect and for many countries it's important to be independent from military system and we feel that we see the demand in different counters due to if you basic reasons better quality or the positioning that independence. from one system doesn't. military want to have their own position system i can understand that but the american army it relies on g.p.s.

just as the other armies is it possible technically for americans to switch off for example the russian army or the serbian army you have a switch they're off glass g.p.s. but continue using g.p.s. for their own soldiers i think this is this is not possible is it for a little an asset or a system. of so special more of operation. has a so-called and it has a military code for the limited access for for users. a new generation so new generation generation of g.p.s. . there will be the possibility to so each of the signal. above some special territory when it's needed the development of russia as a global satellite navigation system as being a decades long struggle to overcome obstacles spotlight you learn that the media

has more and this. the glue nasa program was begun in the mid one nine hundred seventy s. and managed to survive the co-op's of the u.s.s.r. but in one thousand nine hundred five all the satellites necessary for the systems functioning were in place however the economic graces of the one nine hundred ninety s. led to the system's gradual degree day by the beginning of two thousand and one when new seeks out of the twenty four thirty lights were operational it took the russian space agency nine years to get coolness back on track and huge in your ation of longer lasting and more sophisticated satellites have been built and it seemed to goodness was only a step from completion to launch of three said the lights failed they didn't to reshuffle it russian space agency. the missing satellites however are not the only problem the system is facing another one is

a lack of digital maps for russia they're only bailable for big cities producing digital maps for all the provinces may become the largest investment when asked over the next two years. we know all know that one of the best advertising advertising ideas for glass was when let me put his dog got a special special glow in us navigator and that this is one of the best well known gadgets that we have in russia harry is canny but this girl has system but how soon will a normal and normal russian citizen if he is that the dog of the prime minister enter a supermarket and buy a grown ass gadget when it will be commercially available. thank you for mentioning

this unique. problem and i mean it. was from a farmer for. a for somebody but for a company it was a very difficult. experiment because it was two years ago it was quite difficult to find the appropriate one as appears the chips are to be all in this device but. coming back to your question. this here. comes. if you devices. portable navigation devices for. presented at the beginning of the year but if your company has. and navigators. will wait in the shops but the we believe that they will be we will need a few more years to develop a. company of consumer products. the g.p.s.

has been on the market for twenty years. the development of a consumer product just one of three years ago so you need another two years to to to to develop a market for for that let's get out so we need more time says alexander got a call the director general of the globe and that's navigation systems spotlight we'll be back after we take a short break down goes they way your. hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on.

it. think i took your target. this street still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal that the soviet files on the sick. man.

to. my. it used to be an ideal place for a holiday put it all changed in a moment. the winds of you are still visible. the republic is not only relieved but also shaping the future. you.

welcome back to spotlight time i'll get off on just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alexandra because the director general of the global nasa navigation system. when will glow in ass navigation. get the full set of maps of the russian territory i know that well that at least a couple of weeks ago you still didn't have this this is true. there are a few companies. and also some global company was developing the maps for. the. i wouldn't say lot of obstacles so commercialised goal must acknowledge just. in this area.

of course i would like some if you russian company was to become leaders in this market. were planning to stimulate. if you chose a company is to develop a position in this area but that the moment is a matter that we don't see a lot of problems in this market i remember that in the soviet times maps were of great secret i mean i mean you couldn't buy maps of some vast territories of the seventeen you because of military secrets is it still a problem in russia or were the or it's not no longer a problem actually the russian edition market started four years ago when this secrets. were removed in this industry in this area and now we don't have g.p.s. because because because google google because it was an absolutely obvious for

everybody to those figures on the are not relevant anymore. so the moment don't see we don't have this problems there are some secrets and secretary stories. military . people. have other ways to. guarantee this secret i've read it in the paper is that starting in two thousand and thirteen all new cars i mean automobiles in russia on the russian market will be equipped with area glow nass no navigators how much will it cost and one will it be necessary additional and desirable expense for the consumer. the estimated price for these embedded devices is about one hundred dollars for for pork for divorce and these projects were initiated by our company

and supported by the president and by the government. because of this project will to save more lives in the exodus and you are of. the same project was started develop the developing a few years ago and it was the name of the project is he called emergency call a similar project. is being deployed in. brazil. and one of the tasks solving harmonization know the founders or the requirements between european russian and brazilian systems but isn't trying to make people buy something make it obligatory making people pay for it and making them pay for glow thus instead of g.p.s. making the choice for them isn't it a violation of consumer rights. we don't think so that we don't think that

this is the very least another consumer it's. it's completely opposite we are trying to. to guarantee better security and safety in the end there on the roads for our people for our citizens and. we may discuss the burden for our common affection as in this project because the actual of this is the responsibility of a common affection is to build in these systems in their cars but for consumers it's up to them if they get connected to the service to the system or not if so it's up to their choice so there is the choice is still up to the consumer if you don't want to pay for it you may not pay for it ok now. there is no there twist

to the same question as there are speculations are fears that the government may impose additional customs barriers for g.p.s. equipment afterglow ness becomes hundred percent operational if that happens this means that this may mean extreme protectionism can you comment on that there are some initiatives from russian borders official borders to increase their customs duties for g.p.s. based equipment. we believe that. these kind of measures sometimes can be applied to. stimulate the local technologists but. it should be done very carefully. in order to avoid the damage for the market. price increase or in some cases. these kind of measures they appropriate. the technology

of the industries are rated to replace imported goods. in the country. we will see what will happen by the end of the year and all that the minister of and also the organ is planning to introduce of this kind of measures and this is the good thing about about g.p.s. which we all news and even i'm sure have used the least once is that you can go wherever you want specially in europe you can go from country to country using the same device even if you go far away just by a new chip and you have the new map will it be the same with lowness will you be able to use it outside russia wouldn't it be much more expensive to use less or you'd rather need to go to europe. it can be used anywhere and most of the mania of european developers and producers and for them to go on our g.p.s.

equipment already and that all of them have their old maps their plans for development do more the quick mind in different types of devices and portable navigation do worse is mobile phones trackers and some other systems is g.p.s. willing to to cooperate with you are they glad that you exist are they had be about being forced to make those g.p.s. their years we do cooperate was g.p.s. developers. were trained to harmonize our will stand. to make it easier for customers for users to work with both systems and also. china and europe for developing their own systems. so this. this world is getting a little would be easy for such

a way to get in systems what i would call is competition but you haven't mentioned the word competition for the last twenty minutes why isn't it a competition from your point of view yes there is the competition between nasscom pass and girly up but all of these systems. being friendly to the g.p.s. and to be comfortable why why because g.p.s. because they're going to eat you up. otherwise we will not achieve the results to improve the quality of the service do foreign countries. show any interest in your program in the blood test program and which countries and of course. if you agree minister had been signed by the us the space agency with. many different countries. brazil.

cuba india. counters from the middle east from. our company. works sort of closely with partners for us in brazil and the middle east the key markets thank you thank you very much for being with us and just your mind that my guest today on the show has her questions was aleksandr will call the director general of the globe and asked navigation systems we talked about the development of the russian analog to g.p.s. a russian global positioning system called gloves and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your sales spotlight we have someone in mind to help you think i should get you next time to drop me a line at al green or at r t t v dot are you and let's keep spotlight contract we'll be back with more comments on what's going on in and outside russia until
