     Prioritize current and planned GPS capabilities and 
services while assessing future PNT architecture alternatives with a 
focus on affordability.
     Examine methods in which to Protect, Toughen, and Augment 
(PTA) access to GPS/Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) services 
in key domains for multiple user sectors.
     Assess economic impacts of GPS on the United States and in

potential PNT service disruptions if radio spectrum interference is 
introduced.
     Explore opportunities for enhancing the interoperability 
of GPS with other emerging international GNSS.
     Review the potential benefits, perceived vulnerabilities, 
and any proposed regulatory constraints to accessing foreign Radio
