welcome back here's a quick look at other top stories we're covering for you today on r.t.e. washington takes a first step to approve a long awaited deal to increase the u.s. debt limit just a day before a potential devastating default. highly publicized partisan struggle among american legislators has severely damaged confidence in the u.s. economy's reputation as the world's creditor. russia says

u.n. action could help bring an end to violence in syria but once against excessive measures that could lead to a libya style intervention some experts suspect the mask is being targeted for regime change by the west. and the voices of tens of thousands about the government protesters in these are all calling for the prime minister to stand down are going on purported by the international media the demonstrations demanding social justice are there because the country has seen in decades. now the global positioning system developed by the u.s. says long been the only worldwide navigation tool but recently russia introduce its old equivalent glow in us that style good of interviews the director general of business innovation of alexander of google and spotlight is up next.

hello again a welcome to spotlight the interview show on r.t. i'll do another and today my guest is i did some good work for. 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 glow that this its satellites are meant to see areas with g.p.s. does it together they could guide us from space tell her everything in chapter three but is it happened i mean the development and because gracious here's a director general of go next and

a geisha systems alexander will call. the drawn ass positioning system has been functioning for two years in this short time it's had some positive feedback from outside of russia the swedish companies as blunt as operates better than g.p.'s in northern latitudes but there have been some problems with a lot of satellites three new ones crashed into the ocean on their way to the orbit this accident caused some space officials their jobs criticism from the president. and show all well after this criticism from the president that we just heard. today the the serious of scandals connected to to develop and was there a major rethink of the project will there be any change in the globe that's progress. first of all i would like to point out.

and again a certain way piggishness system is a very complex. technical system and. sometimes these kind of accidents are coming so in the future we are not planning to change it or. change our projects. we believe that the project is better well that a success good a good successful. major tasks we're following now. the. speeding up of development of the system good communication well the the the total fool leads of satellites for glow should be twenty four you know you lost three cell lives recently you planning to launch new ones when will you get here twenty four satellites and this year we're planning to launch six more said waves we have twenty one settlements in the orbit. there

are three year backup satellites on the run and he will set alight a new generation of satellites which is being tested the moment. we believe. in a few months who will try to force certain words this number is enough to cover. by the end of this year you will be fully equipped and ready to ready to to to cover the great event of the year we will care for even more certain words including some work up so little of that couple. as far as i remember the argument when they started developing the system was that it's needed for the armed forces will be because a great superpower as russia is having its big armed forces could rely on a foreign official system so. today the russian armed forces are not yet

equipped with us we 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. and. independent already. for the courage of russia we need only. heat inside or it's heating inside where it is enough to cover the russian territory but now we develop and use equipment that can work with two systems with one os and superiors. these dual system equipment. as we believe. give the user more right away ability to receive. so this is the major technology knowledgeable. and certainly to be given. the usage of the use of true system. i just just crossed my mind

that would have been a very good answer was i believe you said that the russian army uses goodness i don't territory to position and the army russian army doesn't need the positioning system outside the russian very fed up with it being a pain at i hope so by the way we're all ok well as to. those eighteen or whatever you have today nineteen but they are already used today intensively i mean they are functionally or they just ready to start being operational because some of the console lease on the set the way it's worded to to be used to the we need to develop. chipsets. the devices should be used. for different applications. so within two or three years. we're supposed to go up but if you different. the worst is for this evil. purposes for the military purposes for treatment of the

system so for many of us so when they started developing learned they said well g.p.s. is ok but the two systems to get that will give super precision when they work together in cart ration i collect one it will allow us to position people up to eight inches while glass is being developed g.p.s. itself is very developed today where for example in your car or wherever it gives you a couple of years this is more than enough do people have to meet to pay more i think they did the users the the consumers to get even better precision they don't need it we'll only do it depends on the look east because of for many politicians where mission critical. you need a better pre-season. the one i was appears. to have been used for many years

already like what where do you need inches you need interest for a job is a complication as for cryptography you. qadosh that appreciation when you need inches just as you mentioned but. in these professional gleason's dual system equipment one i was dipping going to use for many years on it but for our consumer market. it's just a ball to be used. gives it go on our g.p.s. equipment works better. in the cedars when the big buildings. are. due to the. way belittle you can see more subtle it's. also. go on our. course and better. in the mountains for example which is also very important for

something occasions. so. g.p.s. is not really perfect for many countries it's important to be independent from military system. and we feel we see the demander in different purpose. if you basic reasons but the quality of the positioning around but independence so from one system doesn't. neutrally one to have their own position system i can understand that but at 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 certainly there are you over which they're off. 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 effort or a system one awesome jupiters special more of operation. as

a single cauldron as a military court with the limited access for all users. a new. generation of players. there will be disability. so it's off the signal. of some special territory when it's needed. the development of russia's global satellite navigation system has been a decades long struggle to overcome obstacles spotlight heal energy needed as more and less. goon ass 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. one thousand nine hundred ninety five all the satellites necessary for the systems functioning were in place. the can only crisis of the one nine hundred ninety s. were to the systems gradual degree ration by the beginning of two thousand and one

on the six out of the twenty four certain lights were operational. the russian space agency nine years to get back on track and you generation of moon go lasting and more sophisticated satellites have been built and it seems the goodness was only a step from conclusion to launch of three said lights failed they didn't to reshuffle at russian space agency the missing satellites are however not the only problem the system is spacing another one is a lack of digital maps where russia they're on a billboard for big cities producing digital maps for all the provinces they become the largest investment when asked over the next two years. we all know that one of the best advertising advertising ideas for

glass was when vladimir putin's done got a special special glow that's navigator and that this is one of the. best well known gadgets that we have in russia he is carney but this system but how will a normal and normal russian citizen if he's not the guard 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. i mean it was for fun for. somebody but for our company it was a very difficult. experiment because a three years ago it was quite difficult to find appropriate one of the key of the chips to do here these doers but. coming back to your

question. this year. we come up with if you devices. portable use and divorces for. example at the beginning of the year but if you come from those. big years. already in the shops. we believe that there will be we will need a few more years to develop. the consumer products. g.p.s. has been on the market for twenty years. started development of ok so a product just one of three years ago so you need to use two to two to develop a market for for the web so we need so much time says alexander who called the director general of the globe and that's navigation system the spotlight will be back after we take a short break then go say where your. you

want to suck up. to. this industry still keeps its secrets intimate feel the soviet files on.

the berlin. this. is. just so pick. him up. we'll. bring you the latest in some instances from an employer should.

we dump the future coverage. welcome back to spotlight home elgar knob and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is alexander who will call the director general of the grown ass navigation system. when will a grown ass nerve a geisha and. get the full set of maps of the russian territory i know that well at least a couple of weeks ago you still did not dismiss the truth. there are a few companies are. also some global companies and developing the maps for us thank you for the maps and there's a lot. we don't see

a lot of obstacles so far for is enormous technology. in this area. of course old like. the russian company has become leaders in this market. we're planning to stimulate. your future was in line companies to develop the position in this area but at the moment there's a massive dossier of problems in this market i remember that in the soviet times naps were of great secret i mean i mean you couldn't buy maps of that territories of the soviet kenyan because of the military secrets is a problem in russia where the. no longer a problem actually the russian edition market started four years ago this secret.

worry moved in this industry in this area and now we have g.p.s. because of the because. google because it was absolutely obvious for everybody to those figures on there were not relevant. so the more months i don't see we don't have this problems there are some secrets so secret territory is. really true. people. other ways to. guarantee their secret i've written to the paper is that starting in two thousand and thirteen all new cars then you go to bills in russia and the russian market will be equipped with. navigators how much will it cost. me and necessary additional and desirable expense for the consumer. the estimated price for these

embedded devices is about one from a dollars for for for the worse than please project were initiated girl company and supported by the president and the girl. because of this project well to save. and exhibitions in europe for. the same project. started developing the developing going to years ago or it was a very big the name of the project is that he called emergency call serial project . because being deployed in. brazil. one of the tasks solving the harmonization of the standards of the requirements are met in european russian and brazilian systems but that isn't trying to make people buy something make it obligatory making people pay for me and making them

pay for us instead of g.p.s. making the choice for them isn't it's a violation of human rights. we don't think so the we don't think that this is the very least one of the consumer. it's completely opposite. trying to. to guaranteed security and safety and on the roads for our people for citizens around the world. were made to discuss the snowbird and for common effects are us in this project because the truth of the responsibility of becoming a fracture is to build these systems. across the board for consumers it's up to them if the get connected to the service to the system or not

and so it's up to their choice. the choice is still have to look at you mean if you don't want to pay for it you may not pay for it ok now you know they're you know they're twisting the same question there are as speculations are themes that governments may impose additional customs barriers for g.p.s. equipment have to go now this becomes hundred percent operational if that happens this minute this may mean extreme protectionism can you comment on that there are some initiatives from the russian borders official borders to increase their customs duty as for g.p.s. based equipment. we believe that this is a new sort of these kind of measures sometimes can be a point to. stimulate local technologists.

done very carefully. in order to avoid damage for the markets or. you know the price increase in some cases. these kind of matters they appropriate. the technology or the industries are ready to replace imported goods. in the country. we'll see what will happen in the year i know that the ministry of. and also the role of this morning to introduce a peace kind of matters and this is the good thing about g.p.s. which we all news and ego sure have used the least once it is there 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 welsh more expensive to use less than

e.g. p.s. if you go to europe. it's going to use anywhere more the main you know european developers and producers for them to go on our g.p.s. equipment or that all of them might fail their old maps and their plans for development of the new modern equipment in different types of devices and portable to be used in divorces. trackers and some other systems is g.p.s. willing to to cooperate with you are they glad that you exist how they i'll be happy and being forced to make those g.p.s. they're yours we do paper it was g.p.s. developers. we're trained to harmonize our standards. to make it easier for customers for users to work with both systems and also.

china europe for developing their all systems. so. this world is getting a little would be easy for such systems of competition which you haven't mentioned the word competition for the last twenty minutes why isn't it a competition from your point of view yes this is the. go on ask com parson dilulio . or the systems. friendly for the g.p.s. three compatible white why do you. think. otherwise we will not achieve the results to improve our quality of the service do you foreign countries . show any interest in your program in the glass program and which countries and of course. if you. have been signed the space agency here

with. many different countries. brasil or. india. carters from the middle east from c.i.s. . our company. works very closely with hugo courthouse for us india brazil and the middle east the markets thank you thank you very much for being with us and just your mind that my guest began the show transfer of questions was alexander will call the director general of the glowin as navigation systems we talked about the development of the russian plan along to g.p.s. and russian global positioning system called love just another for now from all of us here if you want to have your sales part like we have someone in mind to link you think i should get you next time to drop me

a line at algernon at r t g r u and let's keep spotlight contract to be back with more comment on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on our seat and take it as a. last time the close of team was in the cool gun region where men flock from all over the world to have a few centimeters to their self-confidence. this time largely goes to the are more rigid. for the girls who are still gets people like took. her nature drive likes to say the culture above where grades are protected in the first and only unofficial lecturers are. going to be our age or. watch

a close up on the cards.
