**March 14, 2005**
**Michael E. Shaw**
**Director, Navigation and Spectrum Policy**
**U.S. Department of Transportation**

## Key GPS-Galileo Events - 2004

**Cooperation Agreement**** between the U.S. and European Community on GPS and Galileo**
**Signed June 26 **
**U.S. National Policy**** on Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing **
**Issued December 15**

## Need for Updated Nat’l GPS Policy 

** **
**In the past decade, GPS has grown into ****global utility**** **
**Integral to U.S. economic growth, ****transportation safety****, homeland security, and the U.S. critical infrastructure**
**Essential element of worldwide economic infrastructure**
** **
**GPS is ****critical to U.S. national security**
**Integrated into virtually every facet of U.S. military ops**
** **
**Continuing growth of services based on GPS**** **
**Need to ****update and improve**** existing management mechanisms for GPS and its augmentations**** **

## U.S. GPS Policy: Goals

**Meet ****growing demands**** in national, homeland, economic security, scientific, and commercial uses**
**Space-based positioning, navigation, and timing ****(PNT)**** Services**
** **
**U.S. space-based PNT services remain ****essential components**** of internationally accepted services**** **
**Continue to provide ****civil PNT services that meet or exceed ****foreign civil space-based PNT services **
**Provide ****uninterrupted access**** to U.S. space-based PNT services for U.S./allied nat’l security capabilities**

## U.S. GPS Policy: Objectives 

**Provide civil space-based PNT services ****free of direct user fees**** on a continuous, worldwide basis**
**Provide ****open, free access**** for all to information necessary to use these civil GPS services**
**Maintain the commitment to ****discontinue the use**** of Selective Availability**
**Ensure foreign space-based PNT systems are ****interoperable with GPS ****(or at least compatible)**

##  U.S. GPS Policy: Objectives

**Improve the performance**** of space-based PNT**
**Includes robust resistance to interference**
**Maintain the GPS as a component of multiple sectors of the ****U.S. Critical Infrastructure**
**IAW Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7**
** **

## New Policy: Management 

**Establish a stronger ****National Space-Based PNT Exec Committee****;  IGEB disestablished**
**Chaired by ****Deputy Secretaries**** of Defense and Transportation**
**Membership includes:  ****State, Commerce, Homeland Security, JCS, and NASA**
**Other Agencies as required **
**White House Offices**** ****as observers**** **
**Executive Committee will ****advise and coordinate**** among Departments**** **

## Ensure that national security, homeland security, and civil requirements receive full consideration

Coordinate Departments’ program plans, requirements, budgets, and policies

Assess the adequacy of funding and schedules to meet  requirements in a timely manner

**Coordinate Departments’ program ****plans, requirements, budgets, and policies**
**Assess the ****adequacy of funding and schedules**** to meet  requirements in a timely manner**
** **

**Exec Committee: Responsibilities***** ***

## Exec Committee: Responsibilities

**Promote plans to ****modernize U.S. space-based PNT infrastructure****, including:**
** **
**Development and operation of new and/or improved  services**
**Review proposals and provide recommendations for ****international cooperation**
**Includes spectrum management and protection issues**** **

## New Policy: Funding 

** ****Department of Defense**
**Primary responsibility**** for resources for development, acquisition, operation, and modernization of GPS**
**  **
**Department of Transportation**
**Provide resources to Defense for ****add’l civil capabilities**
**Beyond second/third civil signals already in GPS program**
**  **
**Agency requiring ****unique capabilities**** will fund**
**Augmentations, civil signal performance monitoring, etc**
**National Space-based PNT Executive Committee**
**Advise and coordinate resources**** across Agencies**** **

## Cooperation Agreement between the U.S. and European Community on GPS and Galileo

## Each system independently managed, operated,   and funded
Agreed to use signal structures for Galileo PRS    and Open Service signals that satisfy national security compatible criteria 
GPS and Galileo will be compatible and, for civil users, interoperable with a common Open Service
Allows for the manufacture of “dual system”  civil receivers

**Agreed to use signal structures**** for Galileo PRS    and Open Service signals that satisfy national security compatible criteria **
**GPS and Galileo will be compatible and, ****for civil users, interoperable**** with a common Open Service**
**Allows for the manufacture of ****“dual system” **** civil receivers**

**GPS-Galileo Agreement**

## GPS-Galileo Agreement

**Parties to consult with each other on**** ****Regulatory Measures****, ****Trade****, and ****Cost Recovery**** ****Policies**** **
**Framework Agreement envisions**** ****follow-on agreements**** **
**Establishes**** Working groups**** to address:**
**RF Compatibility and Interoperability**
**Trade and Civil Applications **
**The Next Generation Civil SatNav Systems**
**GPS/Galileo Security Issues**

## Benefits of GNSS Interoperability 

**Users choose which system or combination of systems**** ****will meet their needs**
**Manufacturers choose that which offers**** best combination of value and price **
** ****Open free**** ****service and specifications**
**Open market-driven**** ****competition**** **** **
** ****Promotes innovation **
** ****Facilitates “economies of scale”**
** ****Better/cheaper equipment and services**

## The Way Ahead

**Total**** ****number of systems growing**** ****which contribute to an overall GNSS architecture**** **
**Establishing compatible/interoperable GPS and Galileo **
**Working toward interoperable GNSS services**
**New civil GPS signals**** ****begin this year**** ****with enhancements continuing through GPS III**** **
**Greater ****safety, efficiency, and cost savings**** opportunities for all partners in this effort**
**Ever expanding use in transportation safety**

** ****Greater SatNav capabilities for civil users worldwide **
