System Engineering Approach for GPS Civil Signal Monitoring

N. Shohara, A. Hale

Abstract:	Though originally conceived as a military system, GPS civil applications have steadily grown in importance. Monitoring various attributes of civil signals is important to many civil users. So much so, the capability to monitor all signals has been levied as a required capability for the next-generation GPS. Civil community requirements for signal monitoring are specified in the GPS CMPS published by the Department of Transportation (DOT). The SMWG is chartered by the GPS Wing to develop architecture and acquisition alternatives for implementing civil signal monitoring requirements and developing receiver technology, in part to support those requirements. In this paper, we report on the system engineering approach employed by the GPS SE&I to analyze the system-of-systems monitoring requirements for civil signals and discuss future implications for the GPS technical baseline.
