The next Oak Café will be on 2 October 2024, at 8:00am GMT, where we will take a look at a Case study on the Global Positioning System. Remember to register with the button below for this and upcoming sessions.
Case study on the Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed over a period spanning more than two decades. A System of Systems, it comprises three segments: a space segment (satellites in orbit around the earth), a user segment (where the navigation service is used in a multitude of different applications), and a control segment (satellite monitor and control). During this session we will consider the development of this system through a case study developed in 2007 by Patrick O'Brien and John Griffin.
Suggested reading:
- O'Brien, Patrick J., and John M. Griffin. "Global Positioning System Systems Engineering Case Study." (2007).
- GPS case study on the SEBoKWiki using the case study by O'Brien & Griffin as primary reference.
- Another GPS case study on the SEBoKWiki with a greater emphasis on System of Systems, Enterprise Systems Engineering, and Complex Systems Engineering aspects.
