Abstract | Excerpt: 1. PURPOSE This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishes policies and procedures whereby the Department of the Interior (DOI) is provided access to and use of the Precise Positioning Service (PPS) of the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS). 2. BACKGROUND The satellite-based GPS, which is developed and operated by the Department of Defense (DOD), provides two levels of positioning accuracy: the Standard Positioning Service (SPS) and the Precise Positioning Service (PPS). The PPS is the more accurate level of service. Access to the higher accuracy PPS signals is controlled through the use of cryptographic techniques. DOD policy states that access to and use of PPS will be limited to U.S. and allied military forces. Additional access may be provided to other government and selected private sector users once appropriate security requirements and other selection criteria are met. This agreement specifies the terms and conditions under which DOI, as an authorized user, may obtain access to the GPS PPS. |
