The author describes the international standardization process required for the eventual use of the GPS (Global Positioning System) in an aviation mission role. He provides a brief overview of the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), addresses issues regarding the standardization process as it applies to GPS (or its successor), considers the ICAO standardization process, and gives an example of the standardization process based on the Microwave Landing System (MLS) development
