GNSS - Outreach and Public Relations
This is the year of the WAAS 5th Anniversary Celebration 2003-2008
WAAS is an extremely accurate navigation system developed for civil aviation. Before WAAS, the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) did not have the potential to provide horizontal and vertical navigation for approach operations for all users at all locations. With WAAS, this capability is a reality. Celebrate 5 years of WAAS, its history and development!
