  1. Presentation GNSS 4.2 by H. Cabler ICAO CAR/SAM ATN/GNSS SEMINAR

  2. Modernization History • Need for GPS Modernization recognized by US as GPS entered Full Operational Capability (1995) • Recognized growing importance of GPS to both sectors • National Policy imperative to enhance GPS as single world standard • Better, more reliable civilian service • Need to rethink GPS architecture for the future • Multiple studies indicated diverse set of needs • New signals, Higher Power, Greater Accuracy • Greater focus on dual-use nature • System Integrity, Survivability, and Prevention of hostile use • Better Spectrum Management

  3. Background • 1996 Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) and 1998/99 Vice Presidential announcements committed US to modernization and improvement path • Selective Availability (SA) turned to zero NLT 2006 • Two new civil signals and new military signals • Free world-wide use • Move from studies to action initiated in FY 2000 • SA Set to zero in May 00 • directed changes to existing and future satellites • IIF program terminated at 12 satellites and GPS III development began Modernization Now in Full Swing

  4. GPS Modernization at a Glance Increasing System Capabilities Increasing Civil/Defense Benefit Full Civil Rqmts Add’l Capabilities New Civil Signal – L5 L2C on L2 Basic GPS SA Set to 0 GPS III GPS IIR-M, IIF • GPS-III: • Increased power (+20dB) • Increased Accuracy • Greater Availability • Controlled Integrity • Greater Survivability GPS IIA/IIR • IIR-M: Improved on all IIA capabilities and added • 2nd Civil Signal on L2 • New L1 & L2 M-Code • IIF: IIR-M capability and: • Add 3rd Civil Signal on L5 • Standard Service (~100 m) • Precise Service (~16 m) • Two Nav frequencies • L1: Civil (C/A) & Precise • code, Navigation • L-2: P-code Nav

  5. New Civil Signals • Many consider setting SA = 0 as the 1st step in modernization • New Signals can be considered the 2nd/3rd Steps • Civil Users Currently Limited to One GPS Signal • C/A-code at L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz) • Adding a Second Civil Signal • C/A-type code at L2 frequency (1227.60 MHz) • Adding a Third Civil Signal • P-type codes at L5 frequency (1176.45 MHz) • Higher power signal, intended for precision navigation

  6. SA Set to Zero on 2 May 2000 • Selective Availability (SA) = Intentional Degradation • President decided to discontinue SA to aid peaceful civil users • Civil user accuracy dramatically increased on 2 May 2000

  7. Pre-Modernization/IIR Heritage Signals L1 C/A L1, L2 P(Y) On Orbit Life ~10.6 Years MMD* Post Modernization/IIR-M Modernized Signals Flexible, Higher Power L1 C/A, L2C** (or C/A) L1, L2 P(Y) L1, L2 M-Code) On-Orbit Life ~8.6 Years MMD Block IIR Modernization * Design Life/MMD analysis completed Nov 01. ** L2 Second Civil signal design supports varying code length and data structure

  8. Pre-Modernization Heritage Signals L1, L2 C/A L1, L2 P(Y) Design Life 15 Years Block IIF Modernization Post Modernization • Modernized Signals • Flexible, Higher Power • L1 C/A, L2C* • L1, L2 P(Y) • L1, L2 M-Code • L5 Third Civil** • Design Life • 12 Years • 10 Year MMD * L2 Second Civil signal design supports varying code length and data structure ** L5 Third Civil signal at -154dBw

  9. New Civil Signal Roll-Out • Second Civil Signal (L2C) - Block IIR-M Satellites • First launch in 2003, then every satellite thereafter • Provides a redundant signal for civil users • Improved continuity in case L1 signal reception is lost • Improved accuracy via dual-frequency ionosphere correction • Wide-lane for extremely-precise local area differential GPS • Third Civil Signal (L5) - Block IIF Satellites • First launch in 2005, then subsequent satellites thereafter • Provides redundant dual-frequency capability for civil users • Improved continuity in case L1 or L2 signal reception is lost • Improved accuracy via triple-frequency ionosphere correction • Tri-lane for ultra-precise local area differential GPS

  12. GPS III Addresses MultipleGPS Needs • Significantly Increased Integrity • Crucial for anticipated civil aviation uses • Also important for military use • High level of Signal Availability • Equally important to both military and civilian • Significantly Increased Accuracy • Driven by evolving nature of warfare and civil uses • Additional GPS needs: Future flexibility, nav related messaging, reprogramability These Needs not able to be addressed without significant architectural change

  13. GPS III Integrated Approach • GPS Originally Designed without benefit of an Established User Base • Civil Users Previously Solicited for Suggested Changes to Existing System to Meet their Needs • GPS III has Novel Approach for Integrating Needs of the DoD, DOT, FAA… • Just completed System Architecture and Requirements Definition phase gathered and identified future requirements • Interagency Forum for Operation Requirements created to identify and assemble new requirements for GPS • Civil and military requirements to be approved in totality by joint committee • Coast Guard Navigation Center soliciting requirements via website
