CROPOS – CROatian POsitioning System

During 2008, the State Geodetic Administration was building the CROatian POsitioning System: CROPOS. The system is being built with the most advanced GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technological solutions and reflects the current technological state of affairs which makes it, therefore, one of the most advanced systems of this kind. CROPOS was launched on December 9, 2008, and has already been widely used by the professional geodetic circles and beyond. The system encompasses 30 permanent GNSS stations and 2 control GNSS stations covering the entire Croatian territory with a network offering three services and guaranteeing high accuracy and surveying reliability. The establishment of CROPOS is of particular importance because the Government of the Republic of Croatia adopted a new referential system and a new referential framework in 2004. They have to be implemented by the end of 2010 in the State Geodetic Administration's (SGA) environment which is a pre-condition for the comprehensive implementation of the new referential system in Croatia and all the geo-subjects. In order to achieve the aforementioned, the establishment of CROPOS is one of the important pre-conditions and main tools so its importance is, thus, further emphasized. This paper describes the system establishment and states its technical characteristics as well as the description of the services that the system offers to its users. In the context of the establishment of the new referential system, a special overview is offered on the pricing policy and the expectations of the State Geodetic Administration with regards to its cost-effectiveness or rather usefulness, as well as future use.
