Civil GPS Service Interface Committee

The Civil GPS Service Interface Committee (CGSIC) is the recognized worldwide forum for effective interaction between all civil GPS users and the U.S. GPS authorities.

It was established and chartered to identify civil GPS user needs in support of the Department of Transportation's program to exchange information concerning GPS with the civil user community. In fulfilling this responsibility, the CGSIC reports its activities to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy.

The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN) coordinates and manages CGSIC as part of the Department of Transportation's program to respond to the needs of civil GPS users, and to integrate GPS into civil sector applications. CGSIC comprises members from U.S.and international private, government, and industry user groups.

The CGSIC meets annually and is open to anyone interested in civil GPS issues. Membership in CGSIC is free and there is no fee to attend any CGSIC meeting. Information from CGSIC members and meetings is provided to United States GPS authorities for consideration in GPS policy development and GPS service operation.
