Abstract:

As a key element of its overall program for modernizing the National Airspace ; System, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is planning a transition from ; ground- to satellite-based navigation by using satellite signals generated by ; the Department of Defense's (DOD) Global Positioning System (GPS). However, GPS ; by itself does not satisfy all civil air navigation Requirements. FAA is ; developing a network of ground stations and geostationary communications ; satellites1 to enhance GPS so that satellite-based navigation can meet those ; requirements. This network is known as the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). ; The Secretary of Transportation was directed by Congress to submit a report on ; the WAAS program. The report was submitted by Secretary of Transportation on ; February 11, 1998. At the direction of Congress, the General Accounting Office ; reviewed the report and submitted this analysis of the WAAS program. 34 p.
