Radionavigation Long Range Aid to Navigation (LORAN)
Opportunity Limitations - Accurate radionavigation required remaining within the line of sight
- Transit required a latitude to fix position and 10-15 minutes of processing time: too slow for aircraft
Transit (APL, 1960): satellite navigation using orbits Timation (US Navy, 1964): stable timing of space-based satellite clocks System 621B (US Air Force, 1963): digital signals and global coverage
Developing GPS Defense Navigation System (NAVSTAR) Global Positioning System - Designed for civil and military use to “drop five bombs in the same hole” for less than $10,000
- Department of Defense combined elements from Transit, Timation, and System 621B
- Spearheaded by US Air Force

GPS receivers Single- or dual- frequency receivers access L1 or L1 and L2 carrier frequencies Tracking channels (9-12) track specific satellites
Signals Unique Psuedo-random noise (PRN) Codes - Coarse Acquisition

Microwave signals Clock carrier frequency
Security Designs Anti-Spoofing (AS) - P-code encrypted as Y-code; L2 unavailable
Selective Availability (SA) - March 25, 1990-May 1, 2000
- Provided civilians with Standard Positioning Service, compared to military standard Precise Positioning Service
- Decreased performance by factor of 7
- Delta error: dither (add random noise to) all satellite clocks
- Epsilon error: slowly varying orbital errors almost identical for users with short separation distances
Pseudoranging
Psuedorange errors p=c[(Tu’ + tu)-(Ts+∂t)=∆t+c(tu-∂t+∂tD) tu = receiver clock error ∂t= satellite clock error - ∂t= clock bias + clock drift * (t-tclock reference time) + frequency drift* (t-tclock reference time)^2+relativistic correction
- Relativistic correction: ~ 4.5*10^-10
- SR ~ -8*10^-11; GR ~ 5*10^-10
- Adjust satellite clock frequency by correction

Overview History Technology Applications Policy
Overview History Technology Applications Policy
Applications Original mission: military navigation technology for positioning and navigation Designed with dual use in mind
Assessment Scheme Highly Critical: application able to perform some functions with alternative technologies and/or systems after severe disruption and consequences Moderately Critical: application able to perform most functions with existing alternative technologies and/or systems with compromised accuracy and precision Not Critical: application able to perform all functions and can utilize alternative technologies and/or systems with minimal disruption
Positioning Smart Bombs: ex. Joint Direct Attack Munition - JDAM receiver finds
- position of bomb
- Aircraft receiver finds
- position of target
- Guidance kit monitors
- bomb position as
- control computer
- adjust tail fins
- 40 feet accuracy
Highly Critical Positioning Inertial guidance system as an alternative Loss of accuracy and precision leads to collateral damage
Nuclear Test Detection US Atomic Energy Detection System - Global network of sensors to detect nuclear events operated by US Air Force
- Sensors aboard the GPS
- satellites monitor space
- and the atmosphere
Moderately Nuclear Test Critical Detection GPS system failure likely leaves satellites and sensors in orbit Other satellites could host future sensors
Positioning US Geological Survey measures the relative position of stations relative near active faults - Calculate strain, slip and ground deformation
Not Critical Positioning USGS could easily substitute other methods to conduct surveys, such as LORAN-C, because the time resolution is large
Navigation Mobile phones with built-in receivers - Assisted GPS uses carrier network
Mobile apps can access GPS data
Moderately Navigation Triangulation from cell towers Vibrant community to code patches or other apps Spoofing apps change coordinates read by other apps
Timing Network Time Protocol synchronizes servers every second with GPS
Highly Critical Timing Without GPS - Trades not synchronized
- Trading houses cannot obtain time from cellular networks from GPS
Without local receiver - Internet NTP has 2s offset
- Resolution disrupts high frequency trades
Weather Forecasting Radio Occultation - Measure atmospheric density from the refraction of signal passing through atmosphere to a low-Earth orbit satellite
Can compensate for lack of meteorological observation stations for oceans and the poles
Moderately Weather Critical Forecasting Less complete models - Accuracy issues regardless
Less precise instrument calibration Alternatives such as satellite imaging
