Global navigation satellite system (GNSS)

Global navigation satellite system (GNSS)

This is an umbrella term used to describe a generic satellite-based navigation/positioning system. It was coined by international agencies such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to refer to both GPS and GLONASS, as well as any augmentations to these systems, and to any future civilian developed satellite system. For example, the Europeans refer to GNSS-1 as being the combination of GPS and GLONASS, but GNSS-2 is the blueprint for an entirely new system.
