book about you with us you live from moscow it's now a five thirty pm a recap of our top stories for you the u.s. house of representatives swings behind the debt limit bill to avoid default and criticism that america still faces harsh times ahead of economic recovery despite the compromise deal legislation is now expected to clear the senate and then president obama's task. nato members pressed for tougher u.n.

action against syria's government in response to escalating violence but russia vows to blog any resolution leading to a libya style intervention. that israel is seized by a tidal wave of antigovernment protesters demanding a sweeping economic reform but demonstrators complain the summer of discontent is largely being passed over by the international media. for those are the headlines here and i'll see you next our very own al going off tons of the spotlight on the man in charge of russia's answer to g.p.s. his satellite saw sites ago where none have gone before to stay with us. few. if. any.

hello again or welcome to spotlight the interview show on r.t. and algernon and today my guest is alexander the. 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 this its satellites are meant to see areas with g.p.s. does it together they could guide us from space to over every inch of terrain but as it happened i mean the development and gratian here's a director general of that stand a geisha systems i think summed up the work of. the grown 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 company says brands operates better

than g.p.s. and more than executes but there have been some problems with one of satellites three new ones crashed into the ocean on their way to the orbit this accident caused some space officials their jobs and harassed criticism from the president. oh well after this criticism from the president that we just heard our house 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 now this program. first of all i would like to point on the go on hours and a certain way to get and system is a very complex. technical system and. sometimes these kind of accidents opening so in the future we are not planning

to change or. change our project so. we believe the project is very well going to success but if we were successful. the major tasks were following. the. speeding up of development of the system and good lamentation well the the the total fool each of satellites for should be twenty four you know you lost three said lies recently you planning to launch new ones when will you get your twenty first satellites this year we're planning to launch six mos edwards we have five percent one step away from the orbit. there are three year backup satellites and one and you set away the new generation of satellites which which is being tested at the moment. we believe. in

a few months who will try to force avoids this number of them out to cover. by the end of this year you will be fully equipped and ready to ready to to to cover the great weather and of the year we will have the words including some work up some good with the couple ok 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. 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 when will it become independent from there from the american g.p.s.

and independent or. for the courage of russia we need only. heat inside or it's heating inside words as enough to cover the russian territory but now 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 user more idle i believe. so this is the major technology to acknowledge it. and certainly it may be used on . the usage of the use of true system. i just just crossed my mind that it would have been a very good answer if it was i believe you said that the russian army uses learners i don't tell territory to position and the army russian army doesn't need a positioning system outside the russian carry that will appear to be an expat at i

hope so by the way we all thought ok well as to gloat. those eighteen or whatever you have today nineteen they are already used today intensively i mean they are functional or they just ready to start being operational can some of the console least understand the way it's to be used to. know when to develop. chipsets. on the devices to be used. for different applications. so within two or three years. we were supposed to develop if you would different the conditions and divorces for a bit serial. purposes for good military purposes for fleet management systems so for many of us. when they started developing learned here they said well

g.p.s. is ok but the two systems together will give super precision when they work together in cart ration like like one it will allow us to position people whoever ensures well glass 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 think they did the users the consumers to get even better precision they don't need it we'll only do it depends on the few keystrokes because of for many occasions where mission critical or. you needed better pre-season benteke or is here the one i was dubious. going to use for many years or it like what where do you need inches you need inches for a job is a completely chance for cartography you or others that implication when you need

insurance just as you mentioned. but. in these professional obligations dual system equipment one of the pierce has been used for many years already but for our consumer market the go on us. is just about to be used on gas gives the go on our g.p.s. equipment works better. in the cedars of big buildings. due to the. better accuracy of the way bill if you can see most of it or it's. also. better. in the mountains for example which is also very important for sample occasions. so g.p.s. is not only perfect for many countries it's important to be independent from

military system. and with fuel we see the demander in different countries due to a few basic reasons but a quality of the positioning in the eye on them so from one system doesn't. treat one to have their own position system i can understand that but the american army in true lies 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 don't you ever switch them off let us g.p.s. but continue using g.p.s. for their own soldiers i think this is not possible is it for little n. your support system. so special more of operation. as a single cold and there's a military court with the limited access for users. a new.

generation of. now there will be the possibility. so true of the signal. above 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 yelena the need of a has war and this. 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 however you can only crisis of the one nine hundred ninety s. to the systems grigio the gradation by the beginning of two thousand and one on the six out of the twenty four seven lights were operational a to the russian space agency nine years to get kimo nast back on track and you generation of moon go last

in and more sophisticated satellites had been built and it seemed goodness was only a step from completion to launch of three said the lights failed they didn't to reshuffle at russia space agency the missing satellites are however not the only problem the system is facing another one is a lack of the japan maps for russia their own navel about four big cities produce an image at the maps for all the provinces may become the largest investment of manassas over the next two years. we all know that one of the best advertising advertising ideas from us was when vladimir putin's dog got a special special glow as navigator and that this is one of the. best well

known gadgets that we have in russia he is carney but this let us know their system but how soon will the normal and normal russian citizen if he's got the dog by the prime minister enter a supermarket and buy a girl that's going to. be commercially available. thank you for mentioning this uniquely you. know that you mean it it was for fun for. the for somebody but for our company it was a very difficult. experiment because a three years ago it was quite difficult to find a property that was a piece of the chipset to build here in this device but. coming back to your question. here. we come. if you do. portable navigation do it as for. example

the beginning of the year but if you can pronounce. the beginners. already in the shops. we believe that there will be we will need a few more years to develop the comfort of the consumer products. g.p.s. has been on the market for twenty years ago and started development of a consumer product just one hundred years ago so you need to use two to two to develop a market for for the so we need to sell time says alexander groupon the director general of the glow that's navigation system the spotlight will be back after we take a short break then go say where your. wealthy

british style sign. such as. market finance come the. why not once really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our key. line in russia would be so much brighter if you knew about someone from feinstein

crashing in some. nice clean stock totty dot com. 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 at least a couple of weeks ago you still did not just say it's a true. there are a few companies and also some global companies and developing the maps for the russian territory. we don't see a lot of obstacles so our commercial ways of going must acknowledge us. and this yr . of course i would like some european company has become leaders in this market. we're planning to stimulate. a future with them when a company is. position in this area but at the moment as a matter that we see a lot 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 union because of military secrets is a problem in russia. no longer a problem actually the russian edition market started four years ago this secrets. were moved and this industry in this area and now with g.p.s. because of the because google because of google because it was all goes for everybody. their citizens were not relevant to them. so the moment we don't see we don't have this problems there are some sacred sensitive territories where the military. people. from other ways to. varying to the secret i've read it in the paper is that starting in two thousand

and thirteen all new cars i mean go to beale's in russia and the russian market will be equipped with. glow nasa navigators how much will it cost and will it be necessary additional and desirable expense for the consumer. the estimated price for these embedded devices is about one from a dollars for. the ways and these projects whirls were initiated girl company and supported by the president. the girl month. because of this project will auto save. their citizens and europe for. the same project. started developing the developing a few years ago it was the big name of the project is that he called emergency call serial project. is being deployed in. brazil.

one of the tasks solving. harmonization of the founders of the requirements for its european arsenal brazilian systems but isn't trying to make people buy something make it obligatory making people pay for me and making them pay for the globe instead of g.p.s. making the choice for them isn't it a violation of consumer rights. we don't think so the we don't thing that this is the relation of the consumer it's. it's completely the opposite we're trying to. to guarantee better security and safety and and they're on their aunts poor people or citizens.

we may discuss the snowbird and for common infectious and this project because the actual of this is the possibility of a common factor as to building these systems. but for consumers it's up to them if the get connected to the service to the system or not if it's up to their choice. then the state choice is still up to the consumer if you don't want to pay for it you may not pay for it now. there is no there twist to the same question there are speculations are fears that the government may impose additional customs barriers for g.p.s. equipment have to go now becomes hundred percent operational if that happens this minute this may mean extreme protectionism can you comment on. some initiatives from russia on the borders official borders to increase their custom

duty as. g.p.s. based equipment. but. we believe that. these kind of measures sometimes can be employed to. stimulate local technologies but. it should be done very carefully. in order to avoid the damage for the market to. price increase in some cases. it's this kind of matter so appropriate. the technology of the industry is ready to replace imported goods. in the country. we'll see what will happen again of the year. i know that the ministry of. most of the organ is planning to introduce this kind of mattress and this is the good thing about the g.p.s.

which we all use and ego should 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 or you got any g.p.s. if you go to europe. it's can be used anywhere and more than many of your developers and producers and for them to go on our g.p.s. equipment already convert all of them. their old maps their plans for development to build more the equipment in the from so devices and portable have using devices a 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 happy about

being forced to make those g.p.s. their years we do corporate was g.p.s. developers. we're trying to harmonize our standards. to make it easier for customers for users to work with full systems and also. china europe for developing their all systems composite samberg earlier so this. this world is getting a little would be easy for satori ignition systems well i would call this 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 this is the complete piece from between my go on nasscom passing really are. all the systems. friendly for the g.p.s. to be comfortable why why because g.p.s.

is the way i think. 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 grown ups program and which countries are poor so. if you agreements have been signed by the space agency with. many different countries. brazil you are cuba india. counters from the middle east from. our company. work sort of course we will bring into corners for us in the brazil and the middle east so picky markets thank you thank you very much for being with us and just your mind that my guest yamma show has read questions was aleksandr will call the director general of

the grown ass navigation systems we talked about the development of the russian analog to g.p.s. a russian global positioning system called the love fest and that's a finale from all of us here if you want to have your sales spotlight where someone didn't want to hear things i shouldn't do next time to drop me a line at al green or at our t.v. are you and let's keep spotlight interact. with more comment on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on our seat and take the place of.

download your social anti happily cation your i phone and i pod touch from the japs to. watch on t.v. lights on the. video on demand our keys my fuel costs and the russians for you now in the palm of your. question.

it.
