The SNUR-2000 v. 2.2 consists of several types of compact RTK-GPS messages whose main components are pseudorange and carrier phase corrections. Using these messages, we can carry out precise RTK-GPS positioning using low-rate data-link. In this paper, we analyze the effect of latency on RTK-GPS positioning error and determine minimum baud-rate of data-link for compact correction messages applied to commercial GPS receivers. We also evaluate the performance of the SNUR-2000 by applying converted correction messages to commercial GPS receivers. Commercial GPS receivers can identify their own proprietary RTK-GPS messages, but not the correction messages of the SNUR-2000 v. 2.2. In order to make RTK-GPS receivers identify the SNUR-2000 messages, we converted the compact correction data to proprietary RTK-GPS data which commercial GPS receivers can identify. For this purpose, we converted compact correction messages to CMR(Compact Measurement Records), which is one of the widely-known RTK-GPS data format. The RTK-GPS receivers decode the converted messages, estimate DD integer ambiguities, then compute RTK-GPS position internally. Test results show that the converted compact correction messages of the SNUR-2000 make it possible to resolve integer ambiguities and to compute precise RTK-GPS position autonomously without performance degradation (Initial test results have been demonstrated in the plenary meeting of the RTCM SC-104 version 3 working group).

The Coast Guard is the Department of Homeland Security's lead agency for Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA). To provide for safe, secure and efficient passages through coastal areas and safe approach and entrance into harbors, backup systems to GPS navigation and timing must be integrated into critical command and control, navigation and surveillance systems. This has been reinforced by recent changes to the Presidential policy regarding spaced-based position, navigation and timing application for U.S. national and homeland security, civil, scientific, and commercial purposes. To meet MDA and the strict Coast Guard Electronic Charting and Integrated Navigation System (ECINS) requirements, we will present backup options for integration into maritime and coastal navigation, command and control and surveillance systems.

The U. S. Coast Guard is part of the Department of Transportation (DOT)) team to expand the maritime Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) service into a national transportation safety system. The U. S. Coast Guard's role is to implement a Nationwide DGPS (NDGPS) expansion effort to more than double the existing number of broadcast sites. The NDGPS system is designed to meet all surface transportation navigation requirements in the United States and will provide double terrestrial DGPS coverage across the continental United States. The uscg uses 285-325 kHz (Medium Frequency) to broadcast corrections which provide signal for up to 250 nautical miles. Unfortunately, this frequency range typically requires 340-foot towers for short monopole (tenth of a wavelength) implementation typically discussed in textbooks. Because of the unusually long wavelength, several years of consulting, modeling, and testing were required before fully understanding how to meet system requirements given the severe constraints imposed by practical implementation. The electrically short antennae places increased pressure and complexity for the Antenna Tuning Unit (ATU) to maintain a 50 + 0j Ohm load for all weather conditions. Legacy equipment lacks the sophistication to maintain a 50 Ohm, low VSWR condition, resulting in transmitter mismatches, amplifier failures, extended off-air periods, excessive technician call outs and exhausted sparing and depot maintenance. An all weather ATU presents itself as a tool to significantly improve system availability. The desire to develop, build, and field an all weather ATU started with a carefully laid out plan to incorporate the engineering process with the required contracting process to serve as a vehicle to evaluate emerging technology fairly while providing options for design improvement, quality control, and efficient production and fielding. Results are presented from C2CEN baseline testing to prototype evaluation for seven DGPS sites for

The United States Coast Guard is engaged in a project to re-capitalize Reference Station (RS) and Integrity Monitor (IM) equipment used in the Nationwide Differential Global Position System (NDGPS). The Coast Guard in partnership with industry is developing a new software application to run on an open architecture platform as a replacement for legacy equipment. Present commercially available off-the-shelf Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) RS and IM equipment lacks the open architecture required to support long term goals and future system improvements. The utility of the proposed new hardware architecture and software application is impressive - nearly every aspect of performance and supportability significantly exceeds that of the legacy archetecture. The flexibility of the new hardware and software architectures complement each other to offer promising possibilities for the future. For example, the new hardware architecture uses Ethernet for internal and external site equipment communications. Each Local Area Network (LAN) will be equiped with a router and two 24 port switches. Various levels of password protection are provided to manage security both locally and remotely. While the new software application directly supports the legacy RS-232/422 interfaces to devices such as GPS receivers, a system design goal includes the ability to directly address each device from NCS. With the use of TCP/IP to RS-232/422 port server devices, the system can meet these forward reaching goals while supporting legacy equipment. New system capabilities include remote software management, remote hardware configuration management, and flexible options for management of licenses. The new configurable RS and IM architecture is a PC-based emulation of legacy reference station and integrity monitor equipment. It supports fluid growth and exploitation of new signals, formats, and technology as they become available, while remaining backward compatible with legacy architecture

The many varied types of engineering plants extent in today's modern Navy requires an ever creasing range and depth of operational knowledge by engineering personnel at all levels of shipboard operations. The engineering Operational Sequencing System (EOSS) provides each of these levels with the required information to enable the engineering plant to respond to any demands placed upon it which are within its design capability. The engineering Operational Sequencing System is a set of systematic and detailed written procedures utilizing charts, instructions and diagrams which provide the information required for the operation of a shipboard propulsion plant. The purpose of this paper will be to define and discuss the EOSS; to describe the system background, current status and future implementation plans.
