In October 1997, the Commission recommended an assessment of the vulnerability of the transportation infrastructure relying on the use of global positioning system (GPS). Specifically, the report recommended a three-part assessment: fully evaluate actual and potential sources of interference to, and vulnerabilities of, GPS before a final decision is reached to eliminate other radionavigation and aircraft landing guidance systems; sponsor an independent, integrated assessment of risks to civilians users of GPS-based systems, projected through the year 2010; and base decisions regarding the proper federal navigation systems mix and the final architecture of the modernized National Airspace System (NAS) on the results of that assessment.
