The Department of Defense (DoD) is developing the Global Positioning System (GPS) to acquire a worldwide navigation capability. This satellite based system provides appropriately equipped users with precision three dimensional position and velocity, and precise time. The current edition of the U.S. Federal Radionavigation Plan, issued in 1984, presents a consolidated federal plan on the management of those radionavigation systems which are used by both the civilian and military sectors. It states the DoD goal to phase out the use of TACAN, VOR/DME, OMEGA, LORAN C and TRANSIT in military platforms and for GPS to become the standard radionavigation system for DoD. This would eliminate all the current sole means air navigation systems (TACAN and VOR/DME) aboard military aircraft. Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations within controlled airspace requires an operating sole means air navigation system to be aboard the aircraft. This paper investigates the requirements for GPS certification as a sole means air navigation system in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS); discusses the implication on GPS User Equipment (UE) hardware and software; describes the actual UE implementation; and discusses approaches for UE integration with flight instruments on Navy aircraft.
