Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Air Integration/Installation Program

Abstract

This is a report of COMOPTEVFOR's first phase of follow-on operational test and evaluation (OT-IIIC), as defined in references (a) and (b), of the Global Positioning System (GPS) as installed in the ES-3A, performed under CNO Project 190-4. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the reliability, maintainability, and availability of the AN/ARN-151 GPS User Equipment, as installed in the ES-3A, in an aircraft carrier environment. The GPS user equipment (UE) is determined to be operationally suitable. Approval for extension of application to platforms which require catapult launches and arrested landings is recommended.
