"We have found solutions for switching to a domestically-produced [electronic] component base within a year and a half or two years," Rogozin said at an international congress on the ERA-GLONASS system. Glonass is a satellite navigation system operated by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces. The Glonass project, launched in 1993, is considered to be Russia's answer to GPS (Global Positioning System).
