Russian scientists have reported invented the world's first navigation system that uses the Earth's magnetic field. The news agency ITAR-TASS.
The new system is able to work autonomously, with potential to become an alternative to satellite navigation systems. The technology and software for the project, developed in Russia.
The new navigation system technology, told the Critical Technologies Institute of Design office manager Alexander Ignatiev. According to him, the new system in terms of accuracy, good as it is now operating in GLONASS.
The project involved Saratov University, Dean of the Faculty of Physics Valery anikina stated that it is not about the fact that one system would displace another. "In terms of the security sphere, prism, it is best that they both exist side by side to complement each other, especially if, for example, something happens to the satellite," - he said.
Scientists believe that the commercial products with the new navigation system in a shopping may appear after a few years. In truth, it should be said that similar systems, and which other scientists, innovators such as Finland, have already been delivered and the appropriate gadget.
