The Federal Aviation administration (FAA) plans to independently monitor signals-in-space from the Global Positioning System (GPS) for the purpose of becoming immediately aware of the operational status of GPS when it is used in the National Airsprace System. The operational status will be disseminated to Air Traffic Control and will possibly be broadcast from ground monitoring stations to GPS aviation users via a dedicated integrity channel. This paper describes a general algorithm for choosing ground monitoring station locations to provide coverage for a given area of the world. Also included are the resulting ground monitoring station locations that will provide sufficient monitoring of GPS signals are several specific geographical areas, including the Conterminous United States (CONUS), Canada, and Alaska.
