Military programs within the U.S. and the former U.S.S.R. were responsible for providing the technology and hardware for global satellite navigation. The Global Positioning System (GPS) from the U.S. is nearing operational status and is demonstrating the potential for global navigation and position location. Without radical change, the policies and structures of the institutions that are creating these systems are seen to be incompatible with the requirements and obligations of the international community. The financial impact of redirecting satellite navigation technology for civil use is explored. Alternatives to a single country providing satellite system financing and operation are discussed. A proposal for funding a global system is presented along with an organization that involves the special agencies of the United Nations.
