      It’s the same as GPS (American) or Glonass (Russian). Satellite based positioning, which is vulnerable to jamming. It could also be turned off, just like the others, hence the need for an alternative.

      It’s a satellite based nav system. This would be a new development that is presumably ground based.

    Similar to cellphone a-gps (assisted gps) with a supplemental unified NLP (network location provider) addon feature found on recent phones… but beefed-up on a large-scale. This should provide more emitter sources, whitelisting and blacklisting, and dedicated software to help discover bad or rogue emitters.

    I’m going off the graphic guessing the “detectors” continuous scanning contributes into a database that users will then subscribe on to; instead of the cellphone makeing the self-processing decisions in NLP software.
