  6. WAAS Status Dec 99: • FAA Determined WAAS Did Not Meet 10-7 Requirement • In-Sufficient Analytical Proof • Integrity Verification Prevents IFR Aviation Use • Integrity Requirement Only Affects IFR Aviation Users • FAA Forms WAAS Integrity/Performance Panel (WIPP) • Redesign Integrity Monitors And Revise System Safety Analysis To Insure Certification Approval • FAA Announcement that WAAS Signal-In-Space (SIS) Is Available To Public For Non-Safety Applications • WAAS Operating 24/7 For Non-IFR Aviation and Other Users • Demonstrated Performance Better Than Specification • Since Aug 00, SIS Available 99.99% • Nominal Accuracy: 1 Meter Horizontal, 2 Meters Vertical Jan 00: Aug 00:

  7. Current WAAS Use • Agricultural • Marine • Outdoors • Surveying • World Trade Center

  8. WAAS DevelopmentInitial IFR • Plan Is To Complete Development Of Integrity Monitors and Complete System Testing For Acceptance By FAA In CY 03 • Goal is Acceptance Of System From Prime Contractor (Raytheon) In Mar 03 And • FAA Commissioning Of System By Dec 03 • FAA Also Making Changes To Optimize System Maintainability By Airways Facilities • Changes Will Not Impact Schedule For Contractor Acceptance • Human Factors Changes • Training Tools • Progress on Integrity Monitors Ahead of Schedule • 8 Software Monitors Being Revised • All Operating on Signal-In-Space

  9. WAAS DevelopmentInitial IFR • Completion Of Integrity Monitor Integration Is Schedule Driver • Initial Delivery Will Provide Service For All Phases Of Flight Down To LNAV/VNAV Approach Capability • Will Provide IFR Service With Very Good Availability To Large Portions Of U.S. National Airspace System • Over More Than 90% Of CONUS • Portions Of Alaska And Caribbean

  12. WAASDevelopment Strategy • WAAS Is Using An Incremental Strategy To Provide Improvements To Users Before And After Initial Delivery • Before Commissioning • Develop Procedures (LNAV/VNAV) For Use By WAAS And Other NAS Users • WAAS Signal-In-Space For VFR And Other Non-Safety Users • Permit Use Of WAAS Avionics For IFR Use Prior To System Commissioning (En Route – Non-Precision Approach) • At Or Shortly After Commissioning • Begin publication of LPV minimums • LNAV/VNAV Nominal Minimums – 350/1½ • LPV Nominal Minimums – 250/ ¾

  14. WAASDevelopment Strategy • Next Step Will Be To Expand Service Area And Improve Availability • Additional Reference Stations • CONUS Coverage Requires ~ 5 To 10 More • Alaska Coverage Requires ~ 3 To 5 More • Additional Master Station (1) • Additional GEO Satellite • Congress Appropriated $5M In FY 02 Budget For Additional GEO • Activity Underway To Acquire GEO Satellite • Team Working With Department Of Transportation and Department Of Defense To Insure GPS Modernization Activities Enhance Civil Aviation Capabilities And Improves WAAS Performance

  15. GEO AcquisitionStrategy • Near Term: • Provide A GEO Satellite On Orbit ASAP • Mitigate Single Thread Failure of Existing INMARSAT-3 Constellation • Improve Availability (Performance) And Coverage (Capability) Of Signal-In-Space To Users By Having More Optimized Orbital Locations • Incorporate L5 Signal Capability for Increased Performance and Interference Mitigation • Goal Is Satellite On Orbit By FY 04 To FY 05 Time Frame • Long Term: • Provide Additional Replacement GEO Satellites On Orbit Prior to Expiration of Existing INMARSAT-3 Lease (End Of FY06) • Aggressively Pursuing both Near and Long Term Solutions

  16. GEO AcquisitionStatus • FAA Aggressively Pursued Canadian ANIK F3 Satellite Opportunity • Ideal Location (118.7W) for Improved WAAS Performance and Coverage • On-Orbit Operations Planned for FY 2004 • Existing Contract Vehicle in Place and Ready to Execute • However, Recent Uncertainties / Risks Developed in ANIK F3 Program • Business Case Uncertainty Due To Corporate Acquisition and • Events of 9/11 Coupled with Satellite Insurance Increases • Result In Potential Satellite Schedule Slip up to 13 Months • FAA Pursuing Contingency Plans to Include Potential Competitive Contract Award for Near-Term GEO in FY02

  17. Current INMARSAT Plus 3rd GEOin Ideal Location (1190-1290W) Pacific Ocean Region 180ºW Atlantic Ocean Region 54ºW Optimal 3rd GEO Dual Triple

  18. Conclusions • WAAS Is Being Developed Using An Incremental Strategy To Provide Benefits As They Become Available • WAAS Hardware Is Fielded And Software Development Completed To Provide A Signal-In-Space • System Is Broadcasting 24/7 And Is Providing A Robust And Reliable Signal-In-Space To A Variety Of Users • Software Integrity Monitors And Safety Analyses Are Being Revised To Insure System Certification For IFR Use • WAAS Prime Contract Development Is Ahead Of Schedule • Contractor Acceptance Is Expected In Second Quarter Of FY 03 • Commissioning Expected By Dec 03 • Activities Underway To Finalize Alaska Architecture • GEO Satellite Acquisition Activities Underway
