FROM THE NEWS
GPS Civil Funding Request Slashed
BY: DEE ANN DIVIS
Inside GNSS
20 May 2013
With just more than four months to go in the 2013 fiscal year, sequestration
and furloughs are taking a bite out of key research and the work of the
National Coordination Office (NCO) for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation,
and Timing (PNT) -- the government nexus for GPS-related policy matters.
The NCO is an interagency organization, explained its director, Jan Brecht-Clark
in an emailed response; so, "each individual staff member is subject to
furloughs implemented by their home agency as a result of sequestration."
The furloughs are already hitting her office, she told Inside GNSS, "and the
future could bring additional impacts as agencies make hard choices due
to Sequestration and other budget cuts in the remaining months of the fiscal
year."
Among the projects already bogged down by money problems is a critical
study sponsored by the Department of Transportation to research potential
solutions to a key NCO issue -- signal interference.
The GPS Spectrum Protection (Adjacent Band Compatibility Assessment) would
look at setting interference standards -- that is, determining in advance
what levels of interference users in a band could tolerate as a way of
setting practical guideposts for potential applications in nearby bands.
Although there is $1 million requested for the research next year, the
work is currently stalled due to FY13 money problems. It was supposed to
be under way already.
"Funding limits have delayed the effort," Brecht-Clark confirmed.
Potentially more problematic is a 50 percent cut in the FY14 request for
money to pay for the parts of the GPS program needed specifically by the
civil community.
The Obama Administration has asked for just $20 million for GPS Civil
Requirements next year -- half of what was requested in FY13. The line
item, which is part of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's)
budget, is slightly more than the $19 million that Congress finally
agreed to last year after slashing the original $40 million request.
The upfront cut salts a funding wound that has been bleeding the GPS
program for several years. The FAA was estimated last summer to already
be behind by $55 million in its $235 million commitment to the GPS program,
a promise that has been made all the more important by sequestration
reductions and other cuts to Pentagon programs.
Much of the civil money goes to support OCX, the new ground system that
is being developed, and sources have suggested that the cut could further
delay the program -- though it has been unclear exactly what effect past
funding delays have had.
PNT NCO Braces for Cuts
No doubt exists, however, that the budget cut will further hurt the NCO
that, while small, plays an essential role in protecting the GPS signal
and integrating the needs and efforts of the various federal agencies
that support and use the system. The office gets a significant part of
its funding from the FAA civil contribution.
"We don't know the impact as yet," said Brecht-Clark, "we just know there
is going to be some impact."
"The $20M request and the possible areas of impact have, as you would
expect, been a topic of discussion, mainly between our DoT [Department
of Transportation] and DoD [Department of Defense] partners," she said
in a later email.
"This will likely be an ongoing point of discussion until final budgets
and spending plans are set, with iterative analyses of how this figure,
combined with DoD budget cuts, might impact the GPS program," she added.
"We're tracking the discussions as closely as we can but without final
values nothing definitive has been outlined."
Unfortunately the chances for finding more money for civil funding may
have been diminished by efforts to keep planes flying on time. Legislation
passed by Congress to ease widespread flight delays triggered by automatic
spending cuts gave the FAA the latitude to restore the work schedules of
furloughed FAA workers -- but it didn't give the agency any more money.
The Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013, which Congress passed in a rush
after airport screening and flight hang-ups infuriated their constituents,
permits the transfer of up to $235 million from the grants-in-aid for
airports fund or any other FAA account.
Historically, the FAA has been a reluctant funding source for GPS and
slow to defend the civil contribution from cuts. The chances seem slim
that, in the current budget environment, the FAA will strive to find the
money to put the promised funding back on schedule.
And Now, Some Good News
Fortunately the other GPS-related programs that FAA supports have fared
better in the FY14 request.
The White House requested $109 million for the Wide Area Augmentation
System (WAAS), an increase from the $95 million agreed upon by Congress
for FY13. If approved, the money will support geosynchronous satellite
lease payments, provide GPS augmentation, pay for design work to support
the new L5 signal and fund the upgrade of routers and software.
The FY14 request for the Ground Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS) is
$2.5 million, a slight drop from the $3 million requested a year earlier.
The Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) program also
saw a slight drop to $3.5 million from the previous year's request of
$4 million. The parent account for these two programs had its 2013 monies
cut and it is not yet clear where they stand.
The Obama Administration also asked for $5.6 million for the Nationwide
Differential GPS (NDGPS) program -- the same amount requested last year
but $2 million less than the amount Congress ultimately granted the
FY13 budget.
The Coast Guard and the FAA's Research and Innovative Technology
Administration are in the process of analyzing NDGPS, looking at current
and future needs and what alternatives there might be should NDGPS cease
to be available. Comments are due by July 15, and the results will be
used to support investment decisions for fiscal year 2016 and beyond.
One program that got a real boost is the FAA's unmanned system research.
The agency has been tasked with integrating unmanned aircraft into the
National Airspace System and is currently working to select six locations
across the country for new test sites for unmanned aerial systems.
The president more than doubled the money earmarked for this effort,
bumping the funding request for FY14 to $7.5 million from the $3.5 million
granted under the continuing resolution in place at the time the budget
was written. Work is planned on sense-and-avoid systems as well as safety
criteria and oversight efforts.

GPS IIF-4 Successfully Launched from Cape Canaveral
GPS World
15 May 2013
A U.S. Air Force Global Positioning System satellite built by Boeing was
successfully launched today. The fourth GPS IIF satellite, Space Vehicle
Number (SVN) 66, was carried aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V Launch
Vehicle at 5:38 p.m. EDT May 15 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station,
Florida.
The new capabilities of the IIF satellites will provide greater navigational
accuracy through improvements in atomic clock technology; a more robust
signal for commercial aviation and safety-of-life applications, known as
the new third civil signal (L5); and a 12-year design life providing long-term
service. These upgrades improved anti-jam capabilities for the warfighter
and improved security for military and civil users around the world, the
Air Force said in a statement.
The Atlas rocket took off on schedule. The Centaur upper stage, with the
GPS satellite payload attached, is currently in coast mode before the
second engine firing and subsequent satellite release at T+ 3 hours,
23 minutes and 52.8 seconds. Details on the Block IIF satellites and the
Atlas rocket can be found here.
"I'm extremely pleased with today's launch and delighted to be part of
this mission that enhances our nation's critical GPS capability. Thanks
to the superb efforts of the of the 45th and 50th Space Wings, United
Launch Alliance, our industry partners, the Atlas V and GPS IIF launch
teams, the GPS IIF-4 mission was successfully carried out," said Col.Bernie
Gruber, director of the Space and Missile Systems Center's Global Positioning
Systems Directorate.
"The GPS constellation remains healthy and continues to meet and exceed the
performance standards to which the satellites were built. Our goal is to
deliver sustained, reliable GPS capabilities to America's warfighters, our
allies and civil users around the world, and this is done by maintaining
GPS performance, fielding new capabilities and developing more robust
modernized capabilities for the future," said Colonel Gruber.
