2-7. Status. At present, <strong>topographic</strong> surveyors have st<strong>and</strong>ardized PPS GPS receivers. These receivershave improved the efficiency <strong>and</strong> productivity of <strong>topographic</strong> surveyors <strong>and</strong> provided the DefenseMapping School (DMS) <strong>and</strong> the United States Army Engineer School (USAES) a background on thetraining, operational, <strong>and</strong> research <strong>and</strong> development requirements necessary to successfully field theGPS. The new GPS-S provides adequate absolute-positioning results <strong>and</strong> is designed to provideprotection in a jamming/spoofing environment. The requirement for a PPS GPS receiver that is capableof performing DGPS when using military's authorized, encrypted pseudor<strong>and</strong>om noise (PRN) code hasbeen met. This receiver satisfies the positional accuracy requirements of the Army, the DOD, <strong>and</strong> jointlevelcomm<strong>and</strong>s.PART E - SURVEY CLASSIFICATIONS2-8. General. Topographic surveyors are capable of conducting <strong>and</strong> supporting a wide variety of<strong>surveys</strong>.a. Artillery <strong>surveys</strong> are conducted to determine the relative positions of weapons systems to targets.These <strong>surveys</strong> do not require the accuracy of <strong>geodetic</strong>-<strong>surveying</strong> techniques despite the relatively largeareas <strong>and</strong> long distances. The requirements, methods, <strong>and</strong> techniques used by military FA surveyors aredetailed in FM 6-2. ADA weapon systems require accuracies that are obtainable only from <strong>geodetic</strong><strong>surveying</strong>techniques.b. Basic-control <strong>surveys</strong> provide horizontal <strong>and</strong> vertical positions of points. Supplementary <strong>surveys</strong>may originate from, <strong>and</strong> can be adjusted to, these <strong>surveys</strong>. The basic-control survey of the US providesgeographic positions <strong>and</strong> plane coordinates of triangulation/traverse stations <strong>and</strong> the elevations orbenchmarks (BMs). This information is used as the basis for the control of the US national <strong>topographic</strong>survey; many state, city, <strong>and</strong> private <strong>surveys</strong>; <strong>and</strong> hydrographic <strong>surveys</strong> of coastal waters. Thetechniques <strong>and</strong> methods used by military <strong>geodetic</strong> surveyors are discussed in this manual.c. Satellite <strong>surveys</strong> determine high-accuracy, three-dimensional (3D) point positions from signalsreceived by NAVSTAR GPS satellites. GPS-derived positions may be used to provide primaryreference-control monument locations for engineering <strong>and</strong> construction projects from which detailed siteplans, <strong>topographic</strong> mapping, boundary demarcation, <strong>and</strong> construction-alignment work may be performedusing conventional <strong>surveying</strong> instruments <strong>and</strong> techniques.d. Construction <strong>surveys</strong> provide data for planning <strong>and</strong> cost estimating. They are essential to locateor lay out engineering works <strong>and</strong> are recorded on engineer maps. Plane <strong>surveys</strong> are normally used forconstruction projects. The methods <strong>and</strong> techniques used by military construction surveyors are detailedin FM 5-233.EN0593 2-6
