Abstract:	This paper provides a brief history of the Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module program and a comprehensive review of the SAASM Card Integration Program (SCIP). This paper addresses several aspects of SCIP development including: 1) the objectives sought by the Global Positioning System (GPS) Joint Program Office (JPO) when issuing the SCIP contract, 2) design, development and test of the SCIP SAASM by Alliant Techsystems, 3) Integration of the SCIP SAASM onto the ATK test receiver card, and 4) integration of the ATK receiver card into a core Embedded GPS Inertial (EGI) system. This paper also presents a detailed description of the receiver level testing that was performed by the 746 th Test Squadron (TS) at Holloman Air Force Base and a review and analysis of the data collected during these tests. The paper concludes with a summary of this program’s successes and how the results and lessons learned from the SCIP can be applied by GPS User Equipment (UE) manufacturers in order to implement the GPS JPO’s vision for the next generation of GPS UE.
