Impact of a USCG Differential GPS Service on User Equipment Technology

Joseph W. Spalding and Scott L. Krammes

Abstract:	This paper will address some of the implications and impacts that the United States Coast Guard DGPS Service will have on DGPS user equipment. A proactive approach in addressing these issues at the formative stages of the DGPS service is important in promoting good engineexing design of DGPS user equipment. Manufacturers will better understand the requirements for participating in the DGPS service while designing their receivers. The marine public will benefit by having a larger selection of user equipment which fully and properly participates in the DGPS service. Coast Guard involvement in addressing these issues is important to meet congressional mandates and to satisfy requirements for the harbor and harbor-approach phases of marine navigation as expressed in the Federal Radionavigation Plan.
