Overwhelming GPS Success
• GPS revolutionised navigation
• GPS is embraced by its users
• GPS never fails • Emerging worries on GPS • Concern PCCIP Volpe Report
• US leads rethinking on vulnerability GPS
• From sole-means dissimilar systems
Durk van Willigen

Vulnerability a today’s Issue?
• Yes, because society never relied so strongly on a single source of navigation and time before the GPS era
• Yes, because never before the bad guys were able to disable our core navigation and time sources so easily and untraceably, and over such large areas
• Yes, because many do not recognize this flaw and do not take timely precautions

User’s Attitude
• We have GPS, it performs excellent, it is extremely cost-effective, so why worry?
• Question: Imagine living without fire fighters, vaccination, life-boats, police, dikes, …
• We have them all, we generously pay for it, but we are convinced that we will never need them
• Fortunately, we don’t need such precautions for GPS or GLONASS or Galileo because these systems are perfect !!

Why Galileo next to GPS?
• Because Europe is an industrial high-tech world player
• Europe aims to be successful in GNSS technology just as it is with Airbus, ESA, Concorde, TGV, GSM, Bach, Rembrandt, ….
• But like the US, Europe prefers to be auto-nomous in respect of navigation and timing
• Europe is keen to make profit with its own Galileo business

US-European Navigation Co-operation?
• Users will like Galileo as it doubles the number of navigation satellites improving availability in city areas
• Professional navigators think Galileo may reduce the single-point-failure effects in the technical and control segments
• US military highly dislikes Galileo’s PRS as it makes GPS’ M-code less effective
• PRS = Public Restricted Services
Durk van Willigen

PRS versus M-code• The US officially and repeatedly stated that it will
deny all non-US satellite navigation services if US national security requires so
• Europe would like to prevent that• Europe might also deny GPS to many other
countries if needed• Question from a simple not involved observer:
– Does the US rule GNSS like the UK ruled the waves?– Are the US and Europe each others hostages?
• In all public statements these issues are not mentioned of course (ION-GPS 2003)
• What is the discussion all about?

Denial Dilemma
• Imagine that the US would ever like to deny GPS to non-US countries by jamming civil parts of GNSS bands
• Then GPS CA and Galileo OS will stop – OS = Open Service
• So, the US continues with M-code and Europe with its PRS
• But if US would like to deny PRS also then it will harm its own M-code as well, or the other way around with identical effect

All non M-code signals on L1, L2,
and L5 can be denied
Durk van Willigen
11reelektronika
Solution?
• Increase GPS M-code signal power levels by e.g. 20 dB in selected areas so that jamming PRS will not kill M-code signals as a collateral damage
• But what will happen if Europe would take identical initiatives?
• Challenging issue for American and European politicians
• Or, is it a technical challenge only?

Who Might Endanger GNSS?
• Hackers• Feels good to get large user groups on a string• Compare with virus creators
• Road users• Attempt to cheat the system to get a free ride
• Thieves• Disable car-theft protection systems• Disable GNSS-based tracking and tracing of valuable cargo
• Terrorists• Use your own imagination and, please, don’t tell anybody the
results
Durk van Willigen

Very Annoying L1 Dinky Toy
• Low GNSS power levels makes jamming relatively easy– Just 100 Watts to
illuminate 38% of earth’s surface
• Much progress observed today in jamming rejection technology– Outside military world
not yet available– Complex– Fail safe?
• 1 mW L1 jammer• 100 meters range• 30 mm on a side• 4 hours on single battery• Not for sale !!

A Powerful Solution
• Avoid Single-Point-Failure Structure through integration of highly dissimilar sub-systems
• Which systems are dissimilar to GPS?

Galileo backing up GPS?
• Yes, because– Galileo has higher power level– Galileo uses some un-modulated carriers– More satellites yield better availability– If one control link fails the other one may survive
• No, because– Low dissimilarity in frequency and power levels– Denial requirement of the other party
• Conclusion: Other very dissimilar systems needed

Questions
• If Loran is that good why are there no GPS-like receivers available?
• Why are there no integrated GPS-Loran receivers?
• How to integrate GPS and Loran-C?• Integrate or mutually calibrate?• What is the real error budget chain under
adverse signal conditions?• Why are inertial sensors not integrated with
Loran to increase dynamic response?

H-Field Antenna Testing
• Antenna testing requires many
skills and lots of enthusiasm
• High performance Loran
receivers need many aspects
to be verified
• Most Loran-C challenges are
known today, and are taken
care of
• Loran development is a multi-
disciplinary task
• Much progress observed in US,
Asia and Europe

Conclusions
• Loran-C/Chayka is the only wide area multi-modal navigation life boat if GNSS fails
• Skywave and man-made interference largest challenge to Loran-C land applications
• Loran-C receivers without GPS chip set may have a too low market appeal
• With land applications low-cost rate gyros and odometers may be of good help to smooth tracking and to coast if both Loran and GPS fail
• Large advances in Loran-C technology must now be marketed at high speed to create critical mass to keep Loran-C/Chayka alive!!
