[jamsat-bb:5269] RE: [jamsat-bb:5267] GPS SA 解除!!!


山田さん、飯野です。確かにいままで車のカーナビの精度がいまいちだったのですが
本日から、精度が格段にあがりFM放送の補正情報を受信する必要がなくなりました。
FBです。
それでは。

>Today, I am pleased to announce that the United States will stop the
>intentional degradation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) signals
>available to the public beginning at midnight tonight.  We call this
>degradation feature Selective Availability (SA). This will mean that
>civilian users of GPS will be able to pinpoint locations up to ten times
>more accurately than they do now.  GPS is a dual-use, satellite-based
>system that provides accurate location and timing data to users
>worldwide.
>My March 1996 Presidential Decision Directive included in the goals for
>GPS
>to: "encourage acceptance and integration of GPS into peaceful civil,
>commercial and scientific applications worldwide; and to encourage
>private
>sector investment in and use of U.S. GPS technologies and services."  To
>meet these goals, I committed the U.S. to discontinuing the use of SA by
>2006 with an annual assessment of its continued use beginning this year.

>The decision to discontinue SA is the latest measure in an on-going
>effort
>to make GPS more responsive to civil and commercial users worldwide.
>Last
>year, Vice President Gore announced our plans to modernize GPS by adding
>two new civilian signals to enhance the civil and commercial service.
>This
>initiative is on-track and the budget further advances modernization by
>incorporating some of the new features on up to 18 additional satellites
>that are already awaiting launch or are in production.  We will continue
>to
>provide all of these capabilities to worldwide users free of charge.

>My decision to discontinue SA was based upon a recommendation by the

>Transportation, Commerce, the Director of Central Intelligence, and
>other
>Executive Branch Departments and Agencies.  They realized that worldwide

>for peaceful applications, my administration is committed to preserving
