Augmentations Overview• GPS is an Open Architecture service
– Where GPS by itself does not fulfill user needs, it can be augmented
• Public Augmentations– Nationwide Differential GPS (Nationwide DGPS)
– Space Based Augmentation Systems (e.g. WAAS)
– Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), International GNSS Service (IGS), Global Differential GPS (GDGPS)
• Commercial Augmentations– Differential GPS, Sensor Integration (e.g. inertial), Cellular, etc.
• Distinct from Value-Added Services– Integration of GPS with other data or services (e.g. Location-
Based Services)

WAAS APPROVED FOR NEW, LOWER MINIMUMS (March 2006)
• In 2007, WAAS procedures will provide precision approaches down to 200 feet above airport surface
– Same as Category I Instrument Landing System (ILS)
• Since WAAS requires no equipment at the airport, it provides a cost-effective alternative to Category I ILS
• Increases capacity at thousands of airports without ILS
* Many airports currently use ILS that is costly to install and maintain

Departure Procedures Before RNAV• Departures voice vectored
– Headings, altitudes and speeds issued by controllers
– Large number of transmissions required
• Significant dispersions
– Flight paths inconsistent and inefficient
• Dispersions limit number of departure exit points
![Page 19: Transportation Applications: Now and Future Session 1: Overview: GNSS-Based Application Areas United Nations/Zambia/ESA Regional Workshop on the Applications.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649ee05503460f94bf069b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Departure Procedures After RNAV• Aircraft Fly RNAV tracks
(not ATC vectors)
– Headings, altitudes and speeds automated (via avionics)
– Voice transmissions reduced (30-50%)
• Dispersions Reduced
– Tracks more consistent and more efficient
• Additional Exit Points

Summary• GPS - Robust and operating above standards• Augmentations (user equipment or infrastructure
based) provide additional capabilities• WAAS (SBAS) in operation today for instrument use;
adding 200’ decision height in 2007– Benefits all users - even those not within Geo footprint
• Surface, Rail, and Maritime GNSS Services improve safety, security, and efficiency
• Performance based requirements – Support use of one or more GNSS solutions – Interoperability provides greater capability than from a single solution
• New constellations and augmentations on the way
