GSP signals cleared for civilian users

Article Abstract:

The US has stopped distorting GPS signals for civilian users, a procedure called selective availability (SA) which was justified for reasons of protecting national security. With the elimination of distortions, the accuracy of the GPS has been increased from within 100 meters to some 20 meters. The decision to eliminate SA is expected to boost the $8 billion GPS industry, an industry that has become crucial to the air, road, rail, marine navigation as well as the mining, oil exploration and telecommunications industries.
