U.S. Space-Based PNT Policy
4
GOAL: Ensure the U.S. maintains space-based PNT services, augmentation, back-up, and service denial capabilities that…
ASSURE SERVICE Provide uninterrupted availability of PNT services
MEET DEMANDSMeet growing national, homeland, economic security, and civil requirements, and scientific and commercial demands
LEAD MILITARILY Remain the pre-eminent military space-based PNT service
STAY COMPETITIVEContinue to provide civil services that exceed or are competitive with foreign civil space-based PNT services and augmentation systems
INTEGRATE GLOBALLY Remain essential components of internationally accepted PNT services
LEAD TECHNICALLYPromote U.S. technological leadership in applications involving space-based PNT services
U.S. Space-Based PNT Policy
• No direct user fees for civil GPS services• Open public signal structures for all civil
services– Promotes equal access for user equipment
manufacture, applications development and value-added services
– Facilitates open market-driven competition• Encourage use of GPS time, geodesy and
signal standards• Promote global compatibility and
interoperability of future systems with GPS• Protect the current radionavigation spectrum
from disruption and interference• Recognition of national and international
security issues and protect against misuse5
U.S. Space-Based PNT Policy
• Recognizes the changing international scene– Other nations are implementing space-based systems
that provide PNT services
• Established National Executive Committee (EXCOM) for Space-Based PNT– Chaired by Deputy Secretaries of Defense &
Transportation– Broad membership to include civil and military interests– Supported by National Coordination Office with staff
from member agencies
• Very active senior U.S. Government leadership– National EXCOM Meetings: Nov 07, Mar 08, Jul 08, Nov
08• Executive Steering Group Meetings: Oct 07, Jan 08, Jun 08, Oct
