Latest Signal Verified – L5 • L5 spectrum captured by Stanford 45.7m dish antenna. • Antenna gain as high as 52 dB, • L5 signal high above the noise floor in frequency. • Clear L5 spectrum - both main lobe and two side lobes Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

Levels of Cooperation - New Systems:Can’t we just get along? • Degrees of “Getting Along” • Compatible • Lets not hurt each other • Interoperable • I’ll try yours, you can try mine • Interchangeable • Any four will do Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

GPS and Galileo/Compass/GLONASS-The Users Viewpoint • Real Measure: Interchangeability“Mix and Match” with the same ranging accuracy • Enabled by L1C - defined, implemented, and operable – including all details • Seamless WAAS/EGNOS/+ ? • True clock Synchronization (Common Clock)and common grid • Payoff – Availability, Accuracy and Robustness for Worldwide Users Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

Achieving Interchangeability • Simplest: Common Clock and Geodetic System • Probably Implies a common Control System • Nationalistic Resistance • A New Proposal – Cross-Augmentation Reference System (CARS) • Each Satellite Broadcasts WAAS like Corrections to allow it to be seamlessly operated as a part of the “other” constellation Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

GPS/Galileo CARS Example–Cross Augmentation Reference System • GPS Monitor Stations track Galileo satellites (L1C) • Form WAAS-like Corrections for GPS satellites to operate as Galileo Ranging sources (Clock and Position – Include integrity?) • Include corrections as part of the GPS message • Result: GPS satellite is seamlessly useable as a part of the Galileo Constellation ANY Four Satellites will do: A step beyond Interoperable-CARS is truly “interchangeable” Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

GPS GPS GPS Galileo Galileo Galileo Galileo GPS GPS Control Segment CARS : GPS/Galileo ExampleFirst Step: Monitor the “other” constellation signals • GPS Reference Receivers Monitor all L1C signals • GPS Master Control Calculates a WAAS/EGNOS correction for each GPS satellite –for operation in the Galileo Constellation Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

GPS GPS GPS Galileo Galileo Galileo Galileo GPS GPS Control Segment CARS : GPS/Galileo ExampleSecond Step: Send Augmentation Corrections to Each “own” satellite to allow it to be “seen” (used) as a member of the other constellation • Thus, any GPS satellite can operate as full member of the other constellation • Note: • Corrections are slowly changing (low data rate) • Each GPS satellite only broadcasts its own correction to the Galileo reference • Each constellation controls this use Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

And Galileo would do the same for GPS (etc. for other GNSS Systems) • Advantages: • Satellites are truly Interchangeable • Avoids issue of which time or which Geodetic System • Very Low Rate message, low overhead • Very efficient – corrections broadcast only for the satellite being used • Each Satellite Provider has some control over use of their system • User can have highly accurate PNT in coordinates of their choosing Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

Implementation of CARS • Bi-Lateral Agreements • Technical Working Group to adapt WAAS or EGNOS-like format for message • Include Integrity? • Ionospheric correction probably not necessary Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

Conclusion • We are entering an era with incredible opportunities in Worldwide PNT • With a concerted effort of cooperation, all users should receive benefits: economic, safety and convenience • The ultimate goal is interchangeability • CARS would enable this Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

Thank you – Questions? Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"

U.S. Policy Promotes Global Use of GPS/GNSS Technology No direct user fees for civil GPS services Provided on a continuous, worldwide basis Open, public signal structures for all civil services Promotes equal access for user equipment manufacturing, applications development, and value-added services Encourages open, market-driven competition Protection of radionavigation spectrum from disruption and interference Service improvements for civil, commercial, and scientific users worldwide Global compatibility and interoperability with GPS Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do" 22

U.S. Objectives in Working with Other GNSS Service Providers U.S. pursuing through both Bilateral and Multilateral Cooperation • Ensure compatibility ― ability of U.S. and non-U.S. space-based PNT services to be used separately or together without interfering with each individual service or signal • Radio frequency compatibility • Spectral separation between M-code and other signals • Achieve interoperability ― ability of civil U.S. and non-U.S. space-based PNT services to be used together to provide the user better capabilities than would be achieved by relying solely on one service or signal • Primary focus on the common L1C and L5 signals • Ensure a level playing field in the global marketplace Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do" 23

Goal of Civil Interoperability Ideal interoperability provides users a PNT solution using signals from different GNSS systems No additional receiver cost or complexity No degradation in performance Interoperable = Better Together Than Separate Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do" 24

Private Sector Competition • Competition in GNSS receiver/application markets leads to greater innovation, lower costs • Fair competition means no preferential treatment for any particular companies • Equal (if not open) access to markets and information • Freedom of choice desired for end users • Standards and other governmental measures should not effectively mandate use of one GNSS over another • U.S. agreements with other GNSS providers include language on fair trade and open markets • Working Group “B” established under GPS-Galileo Agreement to discuss non-discriminatory approaches to trade in civil applications markets Presentation to Chinese Delegation - "Any Four Will Do"
