  1. FAA’s Transition Strategy for Navigation and Landing Services 2003 FRP User Conference Dave Olsen Navigation System Engineer Architecture and Systems Engineering

  2. RadionavigationTask Force • Volpe Vulnerability Assessment of the Transportation Infrastructure Relying on the Global Positioning System • Published in August 2001 • DOT Task Force formed to address mitigation measures • FAA tasked to develop Navigation and Landing Transition Strategy - submitted to DOT in August 2002 (faa.gov/asd - Library)

  3. Transition Strategy Objectives • Consider current and future navigation services defined in the 2001 FRP • Consider state of the aviation industry since September 11th • Create service-based approach to Navaid reductions • Optimize rather than minimize services • Emphasis on operational readiness, dispatch capability and the servicing of demand • Continue to recognize differing aircraft equipage (GA and Air Carrier)

  4. Transition StrategyParticipants • FAA • NAS Architecture (ASD) • Regulation and Certification (AFS & AIR) • Air Traffic Services (AT & AF) • Focused briefings were presented to: • Industry groups and trade associations • DOT (Pos/Nav Executive Committee) • DoD (Policy Board on Federal Aviation)

  5. Stakeholder Comments • Industry • Airlines and GA • MITRE/CAASD analysis and support • Analyzed proposed minimum operating network (MON) • Sponsored Industry Day – May 7, 2002 • Comments considered in the Transition Strategy

  6. Satellite NavigationServices GPS and Augmentations • Global Positioning System (GPS) • Augmented for Accuracy, Availability, Continuity, Coverage, and Integrity • Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) • Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) • WAAS procedures with vertical guidance begin in 2003 • LNAV/VNAV • LPV

  11. Architecture & Loran-C • Ongoing research • FAA & Coast Guard • Will Loran support: • Aviation nonprecision approach? • Maritime harbor entrance and approach operations? • Time and frequency users?

  12. Summary • FAA Has Proposed a Transition Strategy that considers: • GPS vulnerability • Backup requirements • Strategy is being incorporated into the 2003 Federal Radionavigation Plan • Opportunity for continued discussions with aviation community The more we keep, the greater the cost…
