Iran replaces US GPS with China’s BeiDou system to boost m!ssile accuracy.
Iran has begun replacing reliance on the U.S.-operated Global Positioning System (GPS) with China’s BeiDou in parts of its technological infrastructure, a move that could potentially improve the accuracy of its m!ssile systems.
Recently , Iran has explored alternatives to GPS by integrating BeiDou’s satellite navigation capabilities. Developed by China, BeiDou functions as a global positioning network similar to Europe’s Galileo and Russia’s GLONASS.
Like other global navigation satellite systems, BeiDou provides positioning, navigation, and timing services around the world.
It supports a wide range of civilian uses—including smartphones, shipping, and transportation—while also serving government and defense-related applications.
