Navigation without GPS Abroad

EDN: YZLGJP

Abstract

The article focuses on the problems of GPS application and offers an overview of different GPS backup technologies and approaches proposed in the USA, the European Union, the UK, China and some other countries to overcome its shortcomings. Also considered are some well-known PNT services using LEO satellite signals, e-Loran radio navigation system, as well as some exotic approaches.
