The United States Government provides notification <strong>of</strong> changes in constellationoperational status that affect <strong>the</strong> service being provided to GPS users, or if <strong>the</strong> United StatesGovernment anticipates a problem in supporting performance standards established in thisdocument. The current mechanism for accomplishing this notification is through <strong>the</strong> Notice:Advisory to Navigation Users (NANU). NANUs are a primary input in <strong>the</strong> generation <strong>of</strong> GPSrelatedNotice to Airmen (NOTAM) and United States Coast Guard Local Notice to Mariners(LNM). Most outages affect both PPS and SPS users. However, since <strong>the</strong> GPS Control Segmentcurrently monitors PPS, not SPS, in near real-time, notification <strong>of</strong> SPS unique service disruptionsmay be delayed. Since NANUs are currently tailored to PPS outages, notification <strong>of</strong> SPS uniqueoutages may require <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> general “free text” NANU vice a tailored template.48. In <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> a scheduled event affecting service provided to GPS users, <strong>the</strong> UnitedStates Government will issue an appropriate NANU at least 48 hours prior to <strong>the</strong> event. In <strong>the</strong>case <strong>of</strong> an unscheduled outage or problem, notification will be provided as soon as possible after<strong>the</strong> event.49. The Block II satellites are designed to provide reliable service over a 7.5 - to 10-yeardesign life, depending on <strong>the</strong> production version, through a combination <strong>of</strong> space qualified parts,multiple redundancies for critical subsystems, and internal diagnostic logic. The Block II satelliterequires minimal inter<strong>action</strong> with <strong>the</strong> ground and allows all but a few maintenance activities to beconducted without interruption to <strong>the</strong> ranging signal broadcast. Periodic uploads <strong>of</strong> data tosupport navigation message generation are designed to cause no disruption to <strong>the</strong> SPS rangingsignal, although Block II/IIA satellites may experience a 6 to 24 second disruption upon transitionto <strong>the</strong> new upload.14
50. The GPS Control Segment (CS) is comprised <strong>of</strong> four major components: a MasterControl Station (MCS), Backup Master Control Station (BMCS), four ground antennas, and sixmonitor stations. The MCS at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, is <strong>the</strong> central control node for<strong>the</strong> GPS satellite constellation. Operations are maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a weekthroughout each year.51. The CS's four ground antennas provide a near real-time Telemetry, Tracking, andCommanding (TT&C) interface between <strong>the</strong> GPS satellites and <strong>the</strong> MCS. The six monitorstations provide near real-time satellite ranging measurement data to <strong>the</strong> MCS and support nearcontinuousmonitoring <strong>of</strong> constellation performance. The current CS monitor stations provideapproximately 93% global coverage, with all monitor stations operational, with a 5° elevationmask angle. The actual elevation angle that a monitor station acquires any given satellite variesdue to several external factors.52. SPS performance standards are based on signal-in-space performance. Contributions <strong>of</strong>ionosphere, troposphere, receiver, multipath or interference are not included.Predictable Accuracy53. The United States Government commits to maintaining <strong>the</strong> Position Dilution <strong>of</strong> Precision(PDOP) in accordance with <strong>the</strong> following tolerances: Position Dilution <strong>of</strong> Precision AvailabilityStandard: PDOP Availability Standard = 98% global Position Dilution <strong>of</strong> Precision (PDOP) <strong>of</strong> 6or less = 88% worst site PDOP <strong>of</strong> 6 or less. In support <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> service availability standard, 24operational satellites must be available on orbit with 0.95 probability (averaged over any day).54. At least 21 satellites in <strong>the</strong> 24 nominal plane/slot positions must be set healthy andtransmitting a navigation signal with 0.98 probability (yearly averaged). The United StatesGovernment’s commitments for maintaining PDOP and constellation SPS SIS URE result insupport for a service availability standard as presented in Table 1-3. The SPS Performancecombines a constellation availability <strong>of</strong> 24 operational satellites at 95% probability.Service Availability55. The percentage <strong>of</strong> time over a specified time interval that <strong>the</strong> predicted position accuracyis less than a specified value for any point within <strong>the</strong> service volume.Service Availability Standard56. The United States Government commits to maintaining <strong>the</strong> Position Dilution <strong>of</strong> Precision(PDOP) in accordance with <strong>the</strong> following tolerances:Position Dilution <strong>of</strong> Precision Availability Standard:57. PDOP Availability Standard> 98% global Position Dilution <strong>of</strong> Precision (PDOP) <strong>of</strong> 6 or less;> 88% worst site PDOP <strong>of</strong> 6 or less.15
