WAAS EQUIPMENT AND PERFORMANCE UPDATES
The following item was submitted to us by Dr. Todd Walter, of
Stanford University, on June 14, 2001:
"Late in 2003 the FAA will declare the Wide Area
Augmentation System (WAAS) operational.
This remarkable system will monitor the GPS constellation to
provide differential corrections and more
importantly a certified level of integrity.
The corrections will improve the accuracy of the system from ten
or more meters to just one or two. It is the
integrity, however, that will open the
doors for widespread aviation use. Although GPS does have a
strong track record, it has not yet been
generally approved for the most demanding of
aviation applications. GPS was not designed for these
applications and lacks the necessary
real-time monitoring. Previously, aviation has had to use
RAIM, a technique exploiting redundant
satellites, to provide sufficient integrity.
This technique requires good geometry and wide margins. As such
it is suitable for en route flying and
non-precision approach. However, precision
approach, which brings airplanes within a few hundred feet of
the ground, has more stringent needs. WAAS
will enable aircraft to conduct varying
levels of precision approach. Additionally the instrumentation
required to use WAAS is substantially less
expensive than today’s suite of equipment.
Although WAAS is not yet certified, there is an operational test
signal that is available for use and there
already are several commercial WAAS
capable receivers. Because it incorporates nearly all the
elements of the final monitoring
algorithms, this experimental signal has a higher level of
integrity than your typical differential system. It is finding
widespread use in agricultural and other
applications. More and more non-aviation users are
discovering the benefits of this free signal. It offers the
great advantage that the differential
corrections come in the same antenna that the GPS
signals do. There are no additional antennas to install, no
local reference stations to set up, and no
additional communication channels to maintain.
Just turn it on and use it anywhere in the United States.
Similar systems are also being developed
in Europe and Japan. Over time the level of service
is expected to improve. In 2003 the first level of service, LNAV/VNAV
will be offered. In later phases better
availability and lower decision heights
will become possible. To learn more about this exciting system
please go to http://gps.faa.gov/,
http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm,
http://waas.stanford.edu."

GPS/WAAS USER REPORTS
Report
A:
Mr. John McHale sent us an unsolicited write up of his
experience with his Garmin etrex Vista:
"For my new etrex [Vista] GPS, I bought the World Map and
the UK detail map for $100 each and have downloaded off the CDs
17 MB for the 13 sectional maps that cover the Baltic and the UK
(where we will be cruising) and the 61 detail maps for southern
UK and Wales (where we will be driving) next month.
The etrex [Vista] has 24 MB for this purpose. You just
download from another computer what you need for a trip.
Each trip can be pre planned and saved or modified…
The
etrex [Vista] tracks up to 12 satellites and has a built in
compass that senses north prior to satellite acquisition. This
is a great feature that I had advocated several years ago to
Garmin and other manufacturers.
The map capability is fantastic.
The etrex also has a built in barometer for altitude that
corrects and smoothes the GPS vertical error.
I can record and display the ups and downs of terrain as
I travel on an elevation display.
There is a trip display for mileage, current speed,
average speed and trip moving and stop time.
There is also a calendar and of course a clock.
I downloaded all of the 250 way points I had in the
[Garmin] 45 XL [previous model] (which had a bad display after 4
years) before sending it back to Garmin.
Garmin sent me a new Model 48 upgrade for $100 rather
than fixing my old 45 XL.
I
have connected with WAAS ([PRN]SAT#35 was visible) off my back
deck and got NINE FEET accuracy.
I used the etrex in my TREK last week going up to upper
NY and connected it to my laptop and it worked with both the [DeLorme]
Map and Go and the Chicago Map Corp [Precision Mapping Streets]
CDs…”
Editor's
note: The above
article in no way implies that the WAAS system is certified for
usage.
Report
B:
Mr. David Wilson (mailto:dlwilson@erols.com)
has sent us an unsolicited link where you can review his
analysis of the accuracy of the WAAS capable receiver that he
bought from Navtech in mid May, 2001.
Look it up at http://www.erols.com/dlwilson/gpswaas.htm.

ORBITAL SELLING MAGELLAN GPS
SUBSIDIARY TO THALES FOR $70M
Divestiture of Subsidiary to Continue
Company's Strategic Refocusing on Core Space
Technology Businesses and to Improve Balance Sheet (Dulles,
VA 29 May 2001) - Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE: ORB) announced today that it has signed a definitive
agreement with Thales Group to sell the
company's Magellan Corporation majority-owned subsidiary and its
interest in Navigation Solutions LLC (NavSol), a
joint venture with The Hertz Corporation,
for approximately $70 million. Orbital aims to close the transaction
by the end of June, subject to certain closing conditions, and plans to use its portion of the proceeds from the
sale to reduce debt, to boost cash
reserves for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
Mr.
David W. Thompson, Orbital's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "With today's
agreement to sell our Magellan subsidiary to Thales, and our previously announced transaction to sell another
subsidiary, MacDonald, Dettwiler and
Associates, we have taken several major steps in our campaign to refocus Orbital on its core space technology
businesses and to strengthen the company's
financial position as we aggressively seek to restore and increase value to our shareholders."
"In
addition, as part of Thales' broader worldwide electronics
business, Magellan should have greater
opportunities to develop the full potential of its
state-of-the-art GPS technology. Similarly, NavSol should
benefit from Thales' involvement as it
continues to develop automotive services with Hertz,"
Mr. Thompson added.

GLONASS STATUS REPORT
As
of June 18, The Russian Space Federation is reporting that
the number of healthy satellites is still 7.
Of the 7 operating satellites, one was launched in 1995, three
were launched in 1998 and three in
2000. The Federations' report is updated daily.
See http://mx.iki.rssi.ru/SFCSIC/SFCSIC_main.html

PRN 19 DIGITAL DISTORTION ANOMALY TEST PLANNED
"Subject: FGCS/GIAC News Flash
There are tentative plans to perform a Digital Distortion
Anomaly test on PRN19. The tentative plan
is that the test will begin on June 18, 2001, and
to last for 5.5 days (132 hours). The health bit for PRN19 will
be set to "UNHEALTHY" for the
duration of this test. This test is not expected
to be noticed with standard GPS receivers, since such equipment
should not process data from unhealthy
satellites. One purpose of this test is to
attempt to replicate a signal distortion observed
in 1993 on PRN19. When the distortion first occurred, it was
corrected by switching to an alternative hardware
path within the satellite. If the
distorted signal is successfully generated, it will be
used to assess the performance of specialized GPS test equipment
known as signal quality monitors. These
monitors are important components in aviation
augmentation systems. We will provide a
follow-up message when we learn of the finalized dates
of the test. We are also updating the GIAC web page to provide
this information."
