HIGH-INTEGRITY GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (HIGPS)
Abstract
The High-Integrity Global Positioning System (HIGPS) activity is focused on developing the technology required to demonstrate the capability of using the existing Iridium satellite constellation to enhance current GPS navigation and timing capabilities. Enhancements include improved anti-jam performance, improved accuracy of navigation and positioning, increased availability of satellite navigation signals, improved accuracy in time stability transfer, and faster acquisition times. This activity focuses on integrating a HIGPS Enabling Technology Development (ETD) prototype. This effort is planned to transition to a HIGPS Technology Concept Demonstration (TCD) program under Navy program management at Office of Naval Research. The decrease from FY 2010 to 2011 is due to the completion of research and demonstration activities for the HIGPS TCD project.
