50 Years of GPS Collaboration and Engagement - UK and USA with John Owen and guests

**Unfortunately the audio quality during the introduction to this webinar is poor - please skip ahead to 03:11 for the beginning of John Owen's presentation. The key elements of what was to become the GPS system were resolved at the US Pentagon "Lonely Halls" meeting in 1973. These included the number of satellites, the orbital height, the choice of signal structure, clock accuracy required ... in essence all the key elements of the GPS system that is in operation today. For this reason, 2023 represents the "50th Anniversary" of GPS and, indeed, the 50th anniversary for the basis of all four Global Navigation Satellite Systems in operation today. To celebrate this anniversary, the RIN will hold a webinar on 30th November 2023. The webinar will be given by John Owen who ran the UK GPS programme from 1990 through 2010. He will be accompanied either in person or virtually by UK representatives to the GPS JPO and NATO team, Tony Anderson, Lyn Dutton, Allen Snowball and John Stevenson and members of the navigation team in RAE/MOD Roger Stokes and Rob Linham. The webinar will review UK’s involvement in GPS from the very early days through to the recent events. Work commenced in 1975 by Royal Aircraft Establishment’s Radio-Navigation and Space Depts. Early work with the US GPS JPO included analysis of data from NTS-2 the first experimental GPS satellite, the early receiver and adaptive antenna development work in RAE and with UK industry. UK’s involvement in the development of the NATO team and Standardization agreements. Later the formation of the Navigation Warfare programme and its requirements for new GPS signals and UK’s roll in the Gallileo programme to achieve compatibility. The Webinar will be introduced by Hannah Sherrard, RIN's Heritage and Engagement lead and John Pottle, RIN's Director.
