| Abstract | The Nationwide Differential Global Positioning System (NDGPS) Modernization Program is a multiagency effort to examine the viability of long baseline carrier phase differential correction techniques. Phase I of this program analyzes broadcasting Global Positioning System observables from a single NDGPS site, Hagerstown, MD, to aid in determining the appropriate signal structure and compression techniques to support long range carrier phase operations. Phase II will install a second facility near Hawk Run, PA, enabling multiple baseline carrier and code phase navigation solutions. This first report verifies that the accuracy that can be achieved over a long baseline from a single facility is within the estimated 10-centimeter (95 percent) horizontal navigation accuracy hypothesized. |
