  2. . Differential GPS (DGPS) ReferenceStation Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)

  3. Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System Expanding the Coast Guard’s DGPS into theNationwide DGPS

  4. Gooding Idaho M to G Mequon WI GWEN Klamath Falls OR NewSt. MarysWV New Poplar Bluff MO New Dandridge TN GWEN Essex CA New Marshall TX Funded Completion 2005-2006 GWEN Bobo MS New Big Lake TX Current NDGPS Coverage Approximately 92% of the lower 48 states has single coverage and 60% has dual coverage. Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)

  5. International Standard • NDGPS is designed to an international, non-proprietary standard • Compliant with RTCM SC-104 and ITU-R M.823 • Increases market for manufacturers • Enhances Global interoperability • Signal is free to all users • 50 other countries operate compatible systems • Resulting in a seamless international navigation system Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)

  6. Acceptance of the international standard is leading to a seamless worldwide service.

  7. Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)Applications Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)

  8. Five Categories of NDGPS Applications Categories of Applications Provides 1. Original Code-Based NDGPS Applications 1 - 3 meters Navigation, Precision Farming, Positive Train Control, Dredging, Buoy Positioning, Resource Management & GIS 2. Real-Time High Accuracy NDGPS Apps 10-15 centimeters Real-time Automated Surveying of Roads, Railroads & Harbors; Highway Lane Keeping; Machinery Control; & Auto-Docking of Ships 3. Post-Processing NDGPS Applications 1 - 3 centimeters Very Accurate Surveying, Mapping, & Hydrography 4. Stationary Scientific NDGPS Applications 2 - 3 millimeters Plate Tectonics Monitoring & Earthquake Prediction 5. Weather Forecasting Application Water Vapor Info

  9. High Accuracy NDGPS Program Objectives • Develop a nationwide 3-D dynamic positioning service that has an accuracy of less than 15 centimeter and time to alarm integrity of less than 2 seconds • Coexist with existing NDGPS infrastructure • Do not degrade existing NDGPS • Minimize deployment costs Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)

  11. High Accuracy NDGPS 10-15 centimeters at 150 miles on a dynamic platform (boat). Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS)

  12. Development of High Accuracy DGPS International Standard • The United Kingdom, Germany and Japan have expressed an interest in working with the US on an international standard for High Accuracy DGPS. • Russia is a major user of DGPS. • The combination of Russia, Europe, Japan and U.S. represents about 90% of the world DGPS users. • Does Russia want to work with the UK, Japan, Germany and U.S. on development of an international standard for High Accuracy Differential GPS? • If so, I need contact information on Russia’s point of contact.
