1 19-21 February 2008 Michael Shaw, Director U.S. National Coordination Office for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) GPS-Galileo Progress through Partnership

2 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 2 30 GPS Satellites Set Healthy (as of 14 Feb 08) 5 new monitor stations integrated into GPS operational network and 6 more in 2008 GPS Ops Center (GPSOC) on-line – Supporting customers worldwide OCX – Next Generation Control Segment Contracts Awarded GPS III is on track Next Launch – March 2008 GPS Activities GPS continuing to improve its global service

3 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 3 GPS Modernization System-wide improvements in accuracy, availability, integrity, and reliability More robust against interference Improved indoor, mobile, and urban use Interoperability with other GNSS systems Selective Availability Removed on GPS III

4 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 4 GPS-Galileo Cooperation Engaged in significant technical collaboration to ensure GPS and Galileo are compatible from radio frequency, non-interference and national security perspectives Designing GPS and Galileo to transmit one or more common civil signals, so future users will enjoy the benefits of multiple PNT satellite constellations At least one common signal will be provided by the U.S. and the EU without direct user fees Improved new civil signal (MBOC) adopted in Jul 2007

5 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 5 International Cooperation International coordination/cooperation accelerating Established International Committee on GNSS (ICG) –Created Provider’s Forum Cooperative Statements with Japan, India, Australia U.S. Recommitment of GPS Service to ICAO

6 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 6 International Committee on GNSS (ICG) Members include: GNSS providers (U.S., EU, Japan, Russia, India and China), international organizations and associations ICG-2 met in India in Sep 2007; 4 Working Groups are: –Compatibility and Interoperability –Enhancement of Performance of GNSS Services –Information Dissemination and Education –Interactions with National and Regional Authorities as well as International Organizations Agreed on Terms of Reference, Work Plan, GNSS Providers Forum to address common issues U.S. to host ICG-3 at NASA JPL/Cal Tech in Pasadena – 7 Dec 08

7 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 7 Provider’s Forum Established at ICG-2 in Sep 07; met in Vienna 18 Feb –Members includes U.S., EU, Japan, Russia, India and China Enables focused discussions on compatibility and interoperability, encouraging development of systems complimenting GPS Consensus reached on the general definitions of compatibility and interoperability –Including spectral separation between each system’s authorized service signals and other systems’ signals

8 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 8 Summary –Continuing close coordination with the EU and Galileo, as well as other providers –Coordination mechanisms are being created to promote interoperability and ensure a level playing field in the global marketplace –New GNSSs and regional augmentations systems, while independently owned and operated, are working toward compatibility and interoperability Issues remain Positive results of a decade of joint bilateral and multilateral diplomatic efforts are emerging:

9 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 9 Web-based Information PNT.gov established to distribute information on the U.S. National Executive Committee –Information on U.S. Policy, Executive Committee, Advisory Board and frequently asked questions –Recent announcement on Selective Availability and offer letter to International Civil Aviation Organization –All recent public presentation GPS.gov established for public information about GPS applications –English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese –Brochures also available in hardcopy upon request –Contains additional links to various other web sites

10 Munich Satellite Navigation Conference 19-21 February 2008 10 Contact Information Michael E. Shaw Director U.S. National Coordination Office for Space-Based PNT 14 th and Constitution Ave, N.W.
