differential pseudorange solution is generally found to be in the range of 0.5 to 10 meters. Theseaccuracies are largely dependent on the type of GPS receiver used.b. Carrier beat phase formulations can be based on the L1, the L2, or both carrier signals.Accuracies achievable using the carrier beat phase measurement are generally accepted to be 1 percent ofthe wavelength. Using the L1 frequency where the wavelength is around 19 centimeters, the theoreticalresultant range measurement is 1 percent of 19 centimeters (about 2 millimeters). The L2 carrier canonly be used with receivers that employ cross correlation, squaring, or another technique to get aroundthe effects of AS.PART D - PLANNING PRECISE-POSITIONING SURVEYS5-29. General. Using differential carrier phase <strong>surveying</strong> to establish control for military projectsrequires operational <strong>and</strong> procedural specifications for a project-specific function of the control beingestablished. To accomplish these <strong>surveys</strong> in the most efficient <strong>and</strong> cost-effective manner <strong>and</strong> to ensurethat the required accuracy criteria are obtained, a detailed survey-planning phase is essential. Thissection defines global positioning system-survey (GPS-S) design criteria <strong>and</strong> other specifications that arerequired to establish control for survey projects.5-30. Planning a Control Survey. The first step in planning a control survey is to determine theultimate accuracy requirements. Survey accuracy requirements are a direct function of the project'sfunctional needs--the basic requirements needed to support the planning, engineering design,maintenance, <strong>and</strong> operations. This is true for GPS or conventional <strong>surveying</strong> in order to establish projectcontrol. Most military activities require relative accuracies (accuracies between adjacent control points)ranging from 1:1,000 to 1:50,000, depending on the nature <strong>and</strong> scope of the project. Few <strong>topographic</strong>projects dem<strong>and</strong> positional accuracies higher than the 1:50,000 level (second-order, Class I). Although aGPS-S may be designed <strong>and</strong> performed to support lower-accuracy project-control requirements, theactual results could generally be several magnitudes better than the requirement. Although higheraccuracy levels are easily achievable with GPS, it is important to consider the ultimate use of the controlon the project in planning <strong>and</strong> designing GPS control networks. Thus, GPS-S adequacy evaluationsshould be based on the project's accuracy st<strong>and</strong>ards, not those theoretically obtainable with GPS.a. Project Functional Requirements. Project functional requirements must include planned <strong>and</strong>future design <strong>and</strong> mapping activities. Control density within a given project is determined from factorssuch as planned construction, site plan mapping scales, master plan mapping scales, <strong>and</strong>artillery/aviation survey positioning requirements. The relative accuracy for project control is alsodetermined based on such things as mapping scales, design needs, <strong>and</strong> project types.b. Project Control Surveys. Project control <strong>surveys</strong> should be planned, designed, <strong>and</strong> executed toachieve the minimum accuracy dem<strong>and</strong>ed of the project's functional requirements. To most efficientlyuse resources, control <strong>surveys</strong> should5-15 EN0593
