U.S. Policy Decisions That Shaped Civil and Commercial Use of GPS
Published Date
Synopsis
Making policy decisions on dual-use technologies such as GPS is difficult and complex, particularly because of the need to balance competing interests between military and civil communities. There is no simple recommendation that will magically cause those challenges to fall away and provide an easy path to resolving similar future decisions. While broad, the conclusions from this paper provide guidance to policymakers to help make future policy decisions on dual-use technologies more easily, more effective, and more impactful.
