Post-Conference Workshops Thursday, April 26 National PNT Architecture Workshop 9 a.m. – 4 pm. DOT Volpe Center 55 Broadway Cambridge, MA 02142 The national Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) architecture effort is evaluating alternative future mixes of global (space and non space-based) and regional PNT solutions, PNT augmentations, and autonomous PNT capabilities to address priorities identified in the DoD PNT Joint Capabilities Document (JCD) and civil equivalents. It will support future decisions of bodies such as the DoD PNT and Civil Pos/Nav Executive Committees, as well as the National Space-Based PNT Executive Committee (EXCOM). This interactive workshop will focus on the data gathering, concept development, and analysis and assessment phases of this project that will provide its architecture recommendations in the July 2007 timeframe. International participation is welcome at this event. Contact Karen Van Dyke, DOT/RITA/Volpe Center. E-mail: vandyke@volpe.dot.gov Phone: (617) 494-2432 Thursday, April 26 Missile Defense Agency- Guidance Navigation and Control Standards Workshop 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Draper Laboratory Hill Building Located at the corner of Broadway and Hampshire Streets Cambridge, MA 02139 The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Producibility and Manufacturing Technology Directorate (DEP) is in the process of establishing Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) Standards for future procurements. The main purposes are to provide uniformity in acquisitions, reduce development costs, provide for second sourcing to improve availability and minimize industrial risk. As a first element of this effort the Agency has previously developed an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) standard and a standard for position navigation and timing and is in the process of identifying sources for future procurements. The next phase of this program will be to expand the scope of MDA standards to encompass GNC and other subsystems (power, communications, etc.). In developing these standards the MDA desires to obtain input from industry at this interactive workshop regarding the development of these proposed standards. MDA will present an overview of the program, scope and efforts current and future. In addition, the workshop will welcome industry presentations as to how best to develop both the GNC and other standards to maximize industry participation in future development efforts. This workshop is unclassified but open to US Citizens only. You must pre-register to attend. To register – please contact Len Epstein at lenepstein@draper.com Draper Laboratory with your name, affiliation, address, e-mail, tel., and verification of citizenship.

Cambridge Attractions

Cambridge - Eclectic, Eccentric, Exciting Cambridge is alive with youthful energy any time of the year. It is a city of diversity, offering endless adventures to history buffs and thrill seekers alike. Founded in 1630, Cambridge was the capital of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and home of the nation’s first college. History Buffs Here you can immerse yourself in history with a walking tour of Old Cambridge or Harvard Yard. Outside Harvard Yard, signs of Cambridge’s role in history dot the city. Visit the Cambridge Common where George Washington first took command of the militia during the Revolutionary War on July 3, 1775, and ten months later drove the British out of Boston. Museum of Science The museum, now known worldwide as the Museum of Science, began in 1830 by six men devoted to collecting and studying natural history specimens. Today, more than 1.6 million people visit the museum and its more than 400 interactive exhibits each year. Since its beginnings, the Museum of Science has grown to more than 14,000 square feet. It holds the distinction of being the first museum to embrace all the sciences under one roof. Among its many attractions are The Charles Hayden Planetarium; The Elihu Thomson Theater of Electricity, which houses a 2.5 million-volt, two-story-tall, high voltage Van de Graaff; and The Mugar Omni Theater, which utilizes state-of-the-art film technology to project larger-than-life images onto a five-story high, domed screen, creating a “you are there” experience for viewers.The museum is committed to making science fun and accessible to all. Hallowed Halls Visit two of the country’s leading universities—Harvard University and its many museums and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), adorned with examples of modern architecture and outdoor sculpture by some of the world’s greatest artists. Shopping Cambridge offers a vast array of shops and shopping. The CambridgeSide Galleria, features over 100 shops, a food court, and many restaurants.

Attention International Participants

We recommend that you apply for your visa at least two months in advance due to security related policies that have greatly increased the processing time for visa applications. U.S. consular officers now interview most applicants as part of the application process. This can add additional time and delays. Currently there is a mandatory security check period of 30 days for people whose passports are issued from several countries, including China, North Korea, and most Middle-Eastern countries. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department requires citizens of many countries to obtain visas to attend any scientific program.

Additionally, visa waiver program (VWP) travelers from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program countries must present either a machine-readable passport or a U.S. visa.
