• Abstract:
  The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) was asked by the NOAA Office of Space Commercialization to analyze dependencies on Global Positioning System (GPS) positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services within the U.S. National Transportation System (NTS). The Volpe Center identified over 50 different systems and applications (including general groupings of systems or applications) that depend upon accurate, reliable and continuous availability of GPS PNT signals. In addition, the Volpe Center identified a number of best practices that can be utilized by government and civil users of GPS receivers, to improve the robustness and resilience of those devices. Finally, the Volpe Center mapped existing and emerging technologies that can be used as alternative sources of positioning, navigation and/or timing signals, in the event the GPS service is lost or degraded.
