As this system is a product of the US Army, they are still in control of its operation. So... They can switch it off when they want.
The two systems have a 650nm change in height to avoid any collision. GLONASS orbits at a height of 19,000km (10,250 nm).

The Pseudo-Range includes the time error for the signal to travel and the receivers clock bias error. The Pseudo-Ranges are then fed to a computer on the receiver equipment where it is corrected for such thing as the timing error, any distortion of the signal etc.

The Master station tracks, monitors and manages the satellite constellation. The monitoring stations check the satellites internally computed position and clock time at least once every 12 hours. When a positional error is detected by the ground station, it is sent to the satellite to be uploaded and update its position. Also if there are any errors noted in the satellite clock time then this will be noted. The clocks cannot be changed but the error will be noted in the satellites broadcast.

If it does not have RAIM then it must be combined with another system.
Also traditional navigation systems such as VOR and DME must be available as a way to cross check the system and also be an immediate back up if the GPS fails.

This can all be sent through INMARSAT satellites and also through a MODE S data link.
