GPS III: the United States again outperform potential competitors



Boeing Corporation announced the transfer of the U.S. air force its proposals for the development and creation of new satellites of the global positioning system that will significantly exceed their tactical and technical characteristics of the existing GPS system, but will retain compatibility with existing custom receivers. The contract value for the first 8 satellites of the GPS III system with option for 4 unit and deployment date 2013 sostavljaet $1.8 billion.

"GPS III will constitute the next step in the development of navigation and coordinate possibilities of technology, said Howard chambers (Howard Chambers), Vice President and General Manager of Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems. — Offers Boeing for GPS III would expedite the evolution of combat system capabilities through the implementation of a caller's trust program, which will not be associated with excess risk. Our solution is based on a comprehensive improvement of the characteristics of the signal and its power, is the best possible solution for the country and will provide a more reliable GPS services as grazhdanskih and military users".

Boeing has already produced a total of 43 GPS satellite configurations, Block I, II, IIA and IIF. It is assumed that the prospective GPS III satellites will transmit navigation signals significantly more than this capacity. Will have a new civil signal compatible with the prospective European Galileo system, increase the noise immunity of the system. Will appear a new private signal (the so-called M-code). The system will gain greater flexibility and scalability.

ODBC Firebird, Postgresql, executing queries in Powershell

Изображение
Sometimes, system engineers may need to obtain specific data directly from the DBMS by means of Powershell. In this article I want to demonstrate two methods of operating firebird, postgresql through the odbc driver and client library. let's Start with the firebird and work with the database through the ODBC driver, you first need to register in the system client library GDS32.DLL, its bit width should be the same as the ODBC driver which should be installed next, download on the manufacturer's website , be sure during installation you need to tick on the registration of the library. Next install itself ODBC, who also take on the manufacturer's website , do not forget that the bit size should match the bit count of a previously installed client. Now actually have a powershell script, it was based on example in C# for postgresql. the $dbServerName = "localhost:base.gdb" $dbUser = "SYSDBA" $dbPass = "masterkey" [string]$s

The Ministry of communications wants to ban phones without GLONASS

Today in the Ministry of communications submitted the bill , according to which in Russia it will be possible to use only those mobile phones that include support for the GLONASS navigation system. Although it is not clear how this will be monitored, most likely, we are talking about banning the importation and sale. This decision was taken in order, and I quote in order to ensure the stability of the unified telecommunication network of the Russian Federation in various conditions. Requirements (in the case of the adoption of this act) will apply to manufacturers and sellers. To monitor the implementation of law be entrusted to Roskomnadzor. How has this come? For me personally this news is not very surprising (and not only because this is another project state silly the Duma), not so long ago there was another similar initiative, the essence of which was to translate public transport to use the system "To the end of the year practically the whole of Moscow is covered
