Although no details explain how Beidou can work with other navigational networks, the official Xinhua News Agency said it is compatible with three other systems.China's new technology took 30 years to be completed and has chief advantages, including the ability to replace GPS for guiding its missiles, especially during the current tensions with Washington. The China Academy of Space Technology's development of the atomic clock, helped the country to complete the satellite system by providing frequency standards and time for BDS satellites.
