Studies on solution accuracy of GLONASS from India

Аннотация

GLONASS is declared fully operational in its revitalized form since late 2011. This generated interest for using it for redundancy and system independence and for a robust Multi-GNSS navigation environment. This paper discusses the accuracy capabilities of revitalized GLONASS in standalone and in mixed mode of operation with GPS on basis of studies made using real-life data from different parts of India collected over 2012–2014. The results show the potentials of GLONASS as an independent global navigation system and the advantages of it as an active component of usable Multi-GNSS from India and the surrounding regions.
