>Speaker:	Bruce DeCleene, FAA
>Title:	GPS, WAAS, and LAAS Satellite Navigation for Air Traffic
>Date:		Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2001, 6:00 p.m.
>Location:	TRW, Reston, VA.  Corner of  Sunset Hills Rd and Reston Town
>Parkway Abstract:	The FAA is upgrading their navigation infrastructure
>from ground-based navigation aids to a satellite-based system using GPS as
>its cornerstone.  The resulting improvement in navigation capability is
>essential to the long-term plans to relieve airspace congestion by
>increasing efficiency through the free flight concept.  The same
>technology will be used internationally to improve safety and provide new
>navigation services.  Mr. DeCleene will present a summary of GPS and its
>history with the FAA, as well as the augmentations to GPS that enable it
>to be used for civil aviation (Wide Area Augmentation System and the Local
>Area Augmentation System).
>
>Speaker Bio:	Bruce DeCleene is the Navigation Program Manager for the
>Aircraft Engineering Division of the Federal Aviation Administration
>(FAA). He is responsible for the development of policy and guidance
>material for the installation and certification of navigation equipment,
>primarily focusing on satellite navigation. Mr. DeCleene is the designated
>federal representative to RTCA relating to GNSS standards and Required
>Navigation Performance. Mr. DeCleene is a Co-Chairman of the FAA Satellite
>Operational Implementation Team (SOIT), which is a team chartered by the
>FAA Administrator that is responsible for overseeing all operational
>aspects of the implementation of satellite navigation.  He serves as a
>technical advisor to the FAA's acquisition of both the Wide Area
>Augmentation System and the Local Area Augmentation System.  He holds a
>B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Virginia.
