Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Networks and Information
Integration/DoD Chief Information
Officer, Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: To enable an orderly and
systematic transition, the U.S.
Government has established December
31, 2020 as the date by which users of
semi-codeless/codeless receiving
equipment are expected to transition to
using GPS civil-coded signals. Based on
the current launch schedule and
projected budget, the December 31, 2020
transition date represents the planned
availability of the second and third
coded civil GPS signals being broadcast
from a minimum of 24 GPS satellites.
Department of Defense will reassess the
transition date should significant GPS
program delays arise.

Mr.
Raymond Swider, 703–607–1122.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Department of Defense (DoD)
provides the GPS Standard Positioning
Service (SPS) for peaceful civil,
commercial, and scientific uses on a
continuous worldwide basis free of
direct user fees. The SPS is a singlefrequency GPS service which is
presently limited to the coarse
acquisition (C/A) code on the L1
frequency.
Access to two or more civil signals are
needed to enable high accuracy civil
applications. Civil users are currently
employing codeless or semi-codeless
techniques to gain access to encrypted
GPS signals, L1 P(Y) and L2 P(Y). To
facilitate expansion of civil GPS
applications, the DoD has planned and
begun to broadcast additional civil
signals that will obviate the further need
for use of codeless and semi-codeless
techniques. The second coded civil GPS
signal (L2C) and the third coded civil
GPS signal (L5) are planned to be
broadcast from 24 GPS satellites in 2016
and 2018, respectively. Full operational
capability of the L2C and L5 GPS signals
in combination with the existing L1 C/
A signal will enable the full spectrum of
dual frequency applications without
using the P(Y) signals.
The U.S. Government acknowledges
global use of GPS codeless and semicodeless techniques and commits to
maintaining the existing GPS L1 C/A, L1
P(Y), L2C and L2 P(Y) signal
characteristics until December 31, 2020
when the second and third civil signals
(L2C and L5) are planned to be
broadcast from a minimum of 24 GPS
satellites. After the planned transition
date, the characteristics of the L1 P(Y)
and L2 P(Y) signals transmitted by any
or all GPS satellites broadcasting two or
more civil-coded signals may change
without further notice and may
preclude the use of P(Y) coded signals
for high accuracy applications.
The U.S. Government is committed to
support civil PNT services based on
GPS civil signals: L1 C/A, L2C, L5, and
L1C. To this end, GPS civil signal
characteristics are specified in the
relevant Interface Specifications (ISs)
and will be included in Performance
Standards (PSs) subject to the operating
descriptions contained in the Federal
Radionavigation Plan (FRP). The U.S.
Government has met or exceeded GPS
service performance commitments in
the Standard Positioning Service
Performance Standard since 1993 and is
committed to continually improving
GPS services as codeless and semicodeless users complete a timely
