Reducing Navigation and Timing Risks in the Maritime Domain Environment

G. K. Weeks Jr., Ben Peterson, Joseph F. Ryan, G. T. Gunther

Abstract:	"The Coast Guard is the Department of Homeland SecurityÕs lead agency for Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). To provide for safe, secure and efficient passages through coastal areas and safe approach and entrance into harbors, backup systems to GPS navigation and timing must be integrated into critical command and control, navigation and surveillance systems. This has been reinforced by recent changes to the Presidential policy regarding spaced-based position, navigation and timing application for U.S. national and homeland security, civil, scientific, and commercial purposes. To meet MDA and the strict Coast Guard Electronic Charting and Integrated Navigation System (ECINS) requirements, we will present backup options for integration into maritime and coastal navigation, command and control and surveillance systems."
