Irving LevesonA new study is underway to estimate the economic benefit of GPS and quantify what’s at stake if anything interferes with its navigation signals.
Launched at the request of the National Executive Committee (ExCom) for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), the first segment of the two-part study would look at major uses of GPS.
