Message:
The Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) GPS network
managed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS), NOAA, is operating in
an experimental mode and will continue to do so until the network is
declared fully operational in 1996. Full CORS integrity monitoring
has not been implemented by NGS at this time. NGS will do its best to
ensure the reliability of this service in the interim but, because of
this status, users of the CORS data should be aware that NGS cannot
ensure:
1. That all current sites will be operational at all times or will be
kept as part of the final network configuration;
2. That all GPS data, positional information, utility software, or
ancillary information which has been posted is 100 percent correct
and without error; and
3. That any additional proposed sites that are added in the future
will remain operational or will be kept as part of the network.

October 29
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has been designated by the
President to represent the Nation's civilian interests in the use
of the Global Positioning System (GPS). DOT has begun studies to
determine the interest in and feasibility of extending the U.S.
Coast Guard (USCG) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Differential
Global Positioning System (DGPS). James Arnold, of the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA), is coordinating the studies and
will present the results to the DOT Position/Navigation
Committee.
Designed to support maritime safety and navigation on the
Nation's coasts and navigable waterways, the coastal portion of
DGPS is almost complete and the river portion is being expanded.
Like many technological developments, the project benefits more
than its original audience. Surveyors, the land transportation
industry, geo-scientists, and meteorologists, among others, are
taking advantage of the broadcast DGPS signals over inland areas,
or they are using GPS data captured by NOAA's National Geodetic
Survey from the DGPS receivers for the Continuously Operating
Reference Station (CORS) network to perform high accuracy
positioning.
In its initial phase, the DGPS network has received praise for
meeting deadlines, economy of installation, and benefit to the
Nation's maritime safety. However, because of its maritime
design, the DGPS network does not reach large areas of the
coterminous 48 states and Alaska. Federal agencies including
FHWA, USCG, NOAA, and the Federal Railway Administration have
received inquiries about possible expansion of the DGPS network.
In response to these requests, DOT tasked FWHA with making the
necessary studies. An initial estimate is that about 20
additional sites could complete coverage of the 48 states.
Mr. Arnold would significantly benefit from knowing the interests
of state, county, and municipal agencies, academia, and private
industry in the potential DGPS expansion and improvement of
safety in highway, railway, and other land based industries.
