On the issue of based on advanced laser technology GLONASS improving

The task of improving the characteristics of GLONASS in the context of the prospects for the development of global satellite navigation systems is described. The authors consider as key areas of research and development related to the advanced laser and quantum optical hardware integration into orbital constellation’s technological processes. The main factors that currently hinder the joint processing of measurements generated on board and on the ground from various sources are discussed. Ways to eliminate these factors are proposed by developing and implementing special information technologies for comparing time scales and digitizing measurements and clarifying delays in the functioning paths of optical hardware. Experimental results are obtained and estimates of the measurements formed in this way are presented, and conclusions are drawn about their possible use in the interests of improving GLONASS accuracy characteristics.
