Once the four satellites are in orbit, at least one satellite will be flying over Japan for eight hours per day.
Combining with the U.S. GPS and the Japanese system will enhance the stability of receiving radio waves and increase the precision of position information.
The U.S. GPS has a margin of error of about 10 meters (about 33 feet) but together with the Japanese system positioning error will be reduced to only several centimeters (a few inches).
The system is expected to used for such activities as driverless tractors in farming and to help develop automated construction machines.
By fiscal 2023 the government plans to have launched a total of seven satellites into orbit and secure Japan's own GPS system without depending on the U.S. system.

Good story, but only shills live here now.

Wouldn't hurt if you contributed more than hateful noise.

This is just another conspiracy by Clinton and Soros to MINDcontrol the peoples of Earth.

What is Galileo, Alex-san.
It offers 30 cm +/- accuracy and much stronger signals. Why duplicate these services? NAVSTAR, Glonass, Beidou, even the Indians want their own. What a waste of money and resources. :^(

Good on you Japan!

W-what are they planning?

if there's a war, nobody wants to depend on access to anyone else's systems to guide their BM

they're planning on still having a GPS system up and running for that fateful day when China, or the USA itself, hacks/off-switches the US GPS system.

Good to hear because google maps constantly fucks up on me trying to get around Tokyo.

>>147798
true, but the US, Russia and China probably have ways of shutting everyone else's satellites down in a second if they want it

I asked myself the same question. But apparently the Japanese system is designed to augment, rather than replace, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS etc.
