Abstract :
A brief review of FRP (the US Federal Radionavigation Plan) history is presented. Current and future federal requirements for radionavigation systems and the status of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and its possible impact on existing systems are addressed. Issues such as the role of the private sector and uses other than navigation, that appeared for the first time in the 1986 FRP, are highlighted. The radionavigation users´ conference held in Washington, DC in March 1988, and other user-oriented actions are discussed
