Should NAVSTAR Be Used For Civil

Navigation? FAA Should Improve

Its Efforts To Decide


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
is making an extensive evaluation of DOD's
planned NAVSTAR satellite navigation sys-
tem to determine if it should also become
the primary civil air navigation system.

The Chairman, Subcommittee on Transporta-
tion, Aviation, and Weather, House Com-
mittee on Science and Technology, asked
GAO to review the adequacy and timeliness
of FAA's evaluation program. This report dis-
cusses the work FAA has done or plans to do
as of this time.

Before a decision is made, reasonable assur.
ance is needed that DOD will develop, test,
and deploy NAVSTAR and allow the civil
community full access to its signals under all
conditions other than national emergency.

GAO  recommends that FAA improve its
NAVSTAR     evaluation program  if
NAVSTAR's benefits to civil aviation are to
be fully considered.
