Radioteknicheskaya Sistema Dal'ney Navigatsii, also known as RSDN-20 and with the designation Alpha, is a Russian hyperbolic radio navigation system. Presumed to be used for Russian ships, submarines and aircraft in the northern hemisphere, possibly worldwide. These transmissions are among the lowest-frequency man made transmissions in the world. The Russian name means "Radiotechnical long-range navigation system". The RSDN-20 system is said to have a range of 10000 km and a position error of 2.5 to 7 km.

RSDN-20 transmitters are located in Novosibirsk, Krasnodar, and Khabarovsk in Russia. Two other transmitters exist in Revda and Seyda, but they are no longer operational.
