CGSIC
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Civil Global Positioning System Service Interface Committee
(CGSIC) is the recognized worldwide forum for effective interaction
between all civil GPS users and the U.S. GPS authorities. It was
established and chartered
to identify civil GPS user needs (e.g. navigation, timing, and positioning)
in support of the Department of Transportation's (DOT) program to
exchange information concerning GPS with the civil user community
as part of the GPS "outreach" program. In fulfilling this
responsibility, the CGSIC reports its activities to the Interagency
GPS Executive Board (IGEB) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Transportation.
The Navigation Center coordinates and manages the Civil GPS Service
Interface Committee (CGSIC) as part of the Department of Transportation's
program to respond to the needs of civil GPS users, and to integrate
GPS into civil sector applications. CGSIC comprises members from
U.S. and international private, government, and industry user groups.
Three subcommittees, the International
Subcommittee, the Timing Subcommittee,
and the U.S. States and Localities
Subcommittee, focus on specific user groups. Information from
CGSIC members and meetings is provided to U.S. GPS authorities for
consideration in GPS policy development and GPS service operation.
The CGSIC meets semiannually and is open to anyone interested in
civil GPS issues. Membership in CGSIC
is free. Summary records of CGSIC meetings are available from this
website. Information from CGSIC members and meetings is provided
to United States GPS authorities for consideration in GPS policy
development and GPS service operation.
