GLONASS?
Isn't that the Soviet GPS-alike that is mostly dead? What's remains of
it I believe is currently optimised for use in Russian military
deployments in Chechnya.. Doubt it's going to be a viable tech any time
soon. Also, finding a chip comparible in size / cost to the Hammerhead
would be difficult.
It's had new satellites launched recently and commitments have been made
to bring it fully online well before the completion of Galilleo.
It _was_ decaying rapidly into uselessness only several years ago.
