The Global Navigation Satellite System TARKOT (GNSS TARKOT) is a Cordobez satellite navigation system owned by the Government of Cordomonivence and the National Space Agency of Cordomonivence.Its one of the navigation satellite systems of Anteria and it provides geolocation to a TARKOV receiver located in any part of the world as long as its on the line of sight of four or more sattelites.The GNSS TARKOT its usually a crucial tool for both civilian and military users as it can work to localize and navigate througout the globe.This system is completely free to worldwide users as long as they have a TARKOT receiver and allows a presicion comparable to other foreign navigation systems.


Overview

The TARKOT project was started by the Cordobez Ministry of Defense in 1993.The first prototype was launched in 1998 and the first operational satellite was launched in 2000.This project was first meant for military use only but in 2004,it was decided that it could be used by both civilians and foreign nations that got allowed to use it.These system has seen multiple modernizations througout its history,making it more accurate and better,leading to the current TARKOT BII generation although a more advanced generation,the TARKOT BIII is being developed.

After the system became public to civilians and foreign nations the Cordobez Government implemented a feature in the system that could degrade or temporarily suspend its accuracy for foreign countries,this following the Sierdi Doctrine making that this feature could only be used by the Cordobez Government in countries that became communist or authoritarian states or in countries that are using these system withouth authorization from the Cordobez Government.
