Description: The use of differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) in an aircraft landing system      at high latitude has been investigated. Both the effects of the high latitude on geometry      and accuracy and the effects of scintillations on availability have been studied. Data was      taken at McMurdo, and South Pole station, Antarctica over a two year period. It was      found that commercially available systems should meet the FAA requirements for      Special Category I landing systems in Antarctica. (jg)
