The People's Liberation Army (PLA) finished a two-day drill on Friday testing final application of Beidou Navigation Satellite System in combat in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the military announced.
The system was used by the troops for precise positioning and navigating, real-time location reporting and data transmission over long distances. It said that Beidou has allowed the Army to be more precise in command, weapon firing and logistics and that the technology has "been integrated into the PLA's modern command system and weapon platform". Currently, Beidou owns 20 satellites. |
