JPALS falls intoencompasses two main categories,: SRGPS and LDGPS. SRGPS provides highly-accurate approach positioning for operations aboard ship, including aircraft carriers, helo and S/VTOL carriers, and other shipboard operations, primarily, but not limited to, helicopter operations.
 
LDGPS is further divided into three sub-categories: Fixed Base, Tactical, and Special Missions. Fixed Base is used for ongoing operations at military airfields around the world, while the Tactical system is a portable system, designed for relatively short-term, austere airfield operations. The Special Missions system a highly portable system capable of rapid installation and use.
