Military OpportunityCurrent Need:

– Reduce Development Expense – Common Systems Interoperability – Speed to Market

Priority Applications:– Logistics / Resupply– Human Protection– Reconnaissance


GM Opportunity• On-going Services Revenue

– Automated Valet-Parking • 60% stakeholder opportunity: $15 to $25B

– Freight Media Services

• Out-of-scope Technology Opportunities • Expedited Technology Deployment• National IntelliDrive Roll-out• RenCen Integrated Pilot


High accuracy positioning using localized RTK – Serves Multiple Markets– Leverage 5.9Ghz for V2V– Use Extra Capacity in Trade– Leverage Cellular for V2I

Approach: Positioning & Nav


Slide 8

• Automated-Valet – $18B Garage Industry – $12B-$16B Retail

• Stakeholders – Drivers – Vehicle OEMs– Cellular / Property Owners– Government

Market: OEM Short-term

Why GPS Backup Plan• Intentional Jamming

Threat: GPS signals use low-powered, high-frequency signals that are easy to block.eLORAN Fix: Uses high-powered transmitters that send stronger signals requiring more power to disrupt.

Environmental InterferenceThreat: Signals from GPS sats need to be in the line of sight of receivers and are blocked by metal, mountains and reinforced concrete.eLORAN Fix: Terrestrial signals bend around the Earth’s curvature and can penetrate urban canyons and dense foliage.

Cosmic RadiationThreat: Unusually large solar flares can produce radio bursts over the same frequency bands as GPS satellite transmissions.eLORAN Fix: Cosmic radio waves cannot penetrate the ionosphere, so LORAN signals are immune to interference.

Antisatellite WeaponsThreat: Future ground-based missiles could target and knock out GPS satellites.eLORAN Fix:Ground stations can be more easily guarded from attacks, including those by missiles.


Regional & Global

Metropolitan Detroit– Demonstrate Leadership – Industry Stability– Use of Talent / Assets
