Abstract
This paper discusses the technical, administrative and certification compat ibility issues associated with satellite augmentation of GPS/GLONASS. It in dicates that the Signal-in-Space specifications are central to compatibilit y and interoperability. IC AO Standards and Recommended Practices are a key mechanism for interoperability. The paper recommends that one standard be implemented worldwide. It also urges a mechanism for the co-ordination and management of augmentation services.
