PLGR Accuracy Evaluation

Abstract

Personnel in the Corps of Engineers are authorized users of Precise Positioning Service (PPS) GPS. The Precise Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR) is the Army's authorized GPS receiver (Corps of Engineers personnel can obtain this). The U.S. Army Engineer School requested TEC evaluate the positional accuracies attainable with the PLGR. The evaluation covered four areas: real- time absolute, real-time differential, 'post-processed' absolute, and 'post- processed' differential. This paper discusses the techniques used and the accuracies observed. Capabilities, as well as limitations, of the current PLGR will also be discussed. Precise Positioning Service (PPS), PLGR, Evaluation, Accuracies.
