Russian Space Systems Holding (RSS), part of the state corporation Roscosmos, has proposed a standard for satellite navigation systems in the Arctic.
According to RIA Novosti, specialists from the Polar Initiative Research and Information Center took part in the development of the requirements. By the end of this year, the document is planned to be submitted for approval to Rosstandart.
βThe new GOST defines the technical requirements for the software of geodetic equipment, reliability characteristics, metrological support, measures to protect against electromagnetic interference and the destabilizing effects of geographical and climatic conditions,β the report says.
The standard developed in Russia will be the first document in the world that defines the requirements for navigation equipment intended for use in the Arctic. The fact is that so far there are simply no rules and regulations for manufacturers and users of navigation equipment for use near the North Pole. Meanwhile, the operation of satellite navigation equipment in the Arctic has a number of peculiarities.
It is expected that the adoption of the standard will help in the implementation of various projects in the Arctic region. In particular, we are talking about the development of the Russian navigation infrastructure of the Northern Sea Route.
