It is the sense of Congress that the importance of positioning, navigation, and timing for national security and economic prosperity requires highly reliable and secure positioning, navigation, and timing systems, such as the Global Positioning System, to support commercial, civil, and national security programs. Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a strategy to ensure that positioning, navigation, and timing receivers of the Department of Defense best leverage the global availability of positioning, navigation, and timing signals from the Global Positioning System, the Galileo system, and other positioning, navigation, and timing systems, including commercial positioning, navigation, and timing solutions that use commercial satellite constellations.
The strategy under paragraph
(1)shall address the following: Issues associated with monitoring and verification of the accuracy, integrity, availability, and security of foreign and commercial positioning, navigation, and timing signals. Mechanisms for timely notification to military users of the current and projected reliability of such foreign and commercial systems. Methods for sharing information across the Global Positioning System, the Galileo system, and other positioning, navigation, and timing systems to improve the interoperability and effectiveness of the systems for military users.
