Technical Data Declaration (Jan 1997)
The Contractor, NavCom Technology, Inc., hereby
declares that, to the best of its knowledge and belief,
the technical data delivered herewith under
Government contract (and subcontracts, if
appropriate) are complete, accurate, and comply with
the requirements of the contract concerning such
technical data.
Global Navigation Satellite System
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (i.e., GPS,
GLONASS, Galileo) are under the control of the
respective Governmental agency and the operation of
these satellites may be changed at any time without
warning.
GPS Selective availability (S/A code) was disabled on
02 May 2000 at 04:05 UTC. The United States
government has stated that present GPS users use
the available signals at their own risk.
The U.S. State Department International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR) regulations limit the
performance of commercial GNSS products. As a
result, access to satellite measurements and
navigation results will be limited from display and
recordable output when predetermined values of
velocity and altitude are exceeded. These threshold
values are far in excess of the normal and expected
operational parameters of the SF-3050 GNSS
Sensor.
