Abstract

This paper discusses the technical, administrative and certification compatibility issues associated with satellite augmentation of GPS/GLONASS. It indicates that the Signal-in-Space specifications are central to compatibility and interoperability. ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices are a key mechanism for interoperability. The paper recommends that one standard be implemented worldwide. It also urges a mechanism for the co-ordination and management of augmentation services.
