4 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 4 WAAS Capabilities  FAA Makes WAAS Available For Non IFR Aviation Use In August 2000 – Signal Available At Surface For All Users  Initial Operating Capability (IOC) – FAA Commissions System For IFR Use On July 10, 2003 – 100% Coverage CONUS & Alaska From 100,000 Ft. To Surface – Horizontal Accuracy 1.5M – Vertical Accuracy 3M – Better Than 99.99% Availability Of System – 95% Availability In CONUS Of Precision Approach 350’ Minimum – WAAS Specific Approaches (LPV) Published Sep 2003 - 250’ Minimums

5 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 5 Development Activities  Incremental Improvement Underway  System Enhancements: – More Efficient Monitor Algorithms – 13 Additional WRSs To Improve Availability And Coverage 4 Alaska 5 Mexico 4 Canada – Provide Two GEO Satellites In View To All Users – Enhancing The Terrestrial Communications – Enhanced O&M Efficiency – Equipment Upgrade Using COTS When Feasible

6 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 6 GEO Acquisition  Goal – Replace INMARSAT III’s – Eliminate Single Point of Failure of GEO Coverage – Provide At Least Two GEO’s In View To Each User For Better Availability  FAA Awarded Contract to Lockheed Martin For New Leased Satellite Communications Links – Awarded March 4, 2003 – Lockheed Martin Awarded Contract to Telesat for Anik F1r – Lockheed Martin Awarded Contract to PanAmSat – Lease Includes Replacement Of Satellite And Ground Segments

7 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 7 Current GEO Service Inmarsat III  Main Problem Is Single Coverage Over the Majority of CONUS INMARSAT 3 AOR/W 54  W INMARSAT 3 POR 178  E

8 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 8 New GEOs  Provides Dual Coverage Over CONUS and Alaska Telesat 107  W PanAmSat 133  W

9 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 9 WAAS Schedule  IOC (Initial Operating Capability)  Incremental Improvements – Ground System Development Ends – System Improvements Will Be Brought Online Incrementally – End State Performance Will Result In Greater Availability Of Precision Approach (LPV - 250 Foot Minimums) 99% CONUS 95% In Most of Alaska  Dual GEO Coverage Over All CONUS and Alaska  GPS Modernization – L5 Frequency (Block IIF & GPS III) – WAAS 200’ Minimums – Better Interference Mitigation 2003 2003 - 2008 2007 2013

10 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 10 LAAS

11 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 11 LAAS Program Description  Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) Provides a Differential GPS Augmentation Navigation Capability Within the Terminal Area  Capabilities May Include: – Precision Approach to CAT III Minimums – Complex Procedures – Guided Missed Approaches – Departure Procedures – Surface Movement Navigation

12 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 12 LAAS Program Background  GIP – Government Industry Partnership (GIP) to Develop Non-Federal CAT-I System Under FAA Type Acceptance Process (Honeywell, Raytheon, Thales) GIP Partners Had Difficulty Funding Effort to Meet Integrity Requirements  CAT-I – FAA Full-Scale Development and Production of Fed CAT-I Systems – CAT I Contract Awarded to Honeywell April 2003  CAT-II/III – CAT-II/III R&D to Mitigate Technical Design Risk – Development and Production

13 F E D E R A L A V I A T I O N A D M I N I S T R A T I O N A I R T R A F F I C O R G A N I Z A T I O N 13 LAAS Status  LAAS FY2005 Budget Request Reduced to Zero – LAAS Directed To Be Research and Development Program – CAT I Contract Becomes Focused Only On Integrity and Safety Complete Integrity Design Report and FHA – CAT II/III Research and Development GNSS/Inertial, EVS, RADALT Integration Study Initiation Dual Frequency LGF Design Analysis Initiation Ionospheric Threat Model/Monitoring Algorithms Dual Frequency (2RF) Multipath Limiting Antenna (MLA)  FAA Still Supports LAAS Technology
