The Collins Avionics Group of Rockwell International has developed a commercial version of a modular sensor unit called the NAVCORE 1.\" GPS receiver which derives position. velocity and time data from the satellite signals. Digital data outputs are updated at the rate of one complete solution per second making the sensor function applicable to a wide range of dynamic and static product applications. This paper describes the features and capabilities of the timing version of the NAVCORE 1'\" receiver and describes the interfaces required for its use as a sensor in time and frequency product applications. Introduction With the recent contract award by the Department of Defense for the first production GPS user equipment, the production phase of the third element of the NAVSTAR GPS program has begun implementation. The first two elements. satellite vehicles and ground command stations, have been underway for over a year, with the first production satellites scheduled for launch starting in October of next year. Based on the current launch schedules worldwide satellite coverage will be available for 2D navigation by late 1987, with full 3D navigation coverage by mid-1988. While the primary focus of the GPS program is on its revolutionary improvements in accuracy and cost-of-ownership for navigation and positioning systems, it offers the same kind of benefits for time and frequency reference product applications. Furthermore, these benefits can be realized several years sooner, with precision time signals already available for 16-20 hours per day from the development satellites, and full worldwide time coverage expected to be available by the beginning of 1987. Commercial Applications Collins Government Avionics has been actively involved in the development of military GPS user equipment since 1974. During that time as we have participated in the transition from advanced technology concepts to application hardware, we have also participated in the promotion of the system benefits for worldwide commercial applications. Two years ago, when we became convinced that the CIA code signals would ultimately be made available for commercial uses without restrictions or usage charges, we initiated product plans to apply the applicable parts of our hardware and software development work to non-military applications. This paper describes the first commercial product resulting from that effort, with emphasis on its possible time and frequency reference system applications. Time & Frequency System Applications Theoretically, GPS time receivers would be able to continuously deliver precision timing signals within the average of the CH2186-0/85/0000-0150$1.00019851EE","PeriodicalId":291824,"journal":{"name":"39th Annual Symposium on Frequency Control","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114799765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These preliminary results are very encouraging and were made possible because the major sources of frequency error have been identified and greatly reduced.
