Selective Availability (SA) – 1990-2000<br />
• Intentional degradation of satellite signals by<br />
"Dithering" of satellite clock (through adding periodic errors to the satellite<br />
clock with periods of 5-7 minutes)<br />
Introducing deliberately errors in the broadcast ephemerides<br />
Classified algorithm <strong>and</strong> characteristics<br />
• To provide 100 m horizontal <strong>and</strong> 170 m vertical accuracy (95%<br />
confidence level) for C/A-code navigation<br />
• Ways to mitigate the negative effects for positioning<br />
Military receivers are able to overcome SA<br />
Use Glonass instead<br />
☺ Can be overcome by differential GPS operation (much better than absolute<br />
positioning)<br />
• Implemented on all block II satellites, but not block I, although it is<br />
was off on some block II satellites<br />
• Was operational from March 1990 until May 2nd 2000 (none during the<br />
1st Gulf war), switched off on May 2nd at 4:05 UTC!!<br />
