GPS Composite Clock Software Performance

Abstract

Computer software for ensembling all the space vehicle (SV) and ground clocks of the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) was implemented at the Master Control Station (MCS) on 17 June 1990. Improved GPS time stability and steering control are predicted. This paper assesses the perceptions of both Air Force and outside users and compares current performance to theoretical predictions.
