==Operation==
JPALS encompasses two main categories: SRGPS and LDGPS. SRGPS provides highly accurate approach positioning for operations aboard ship, including aircraft carriers, helo and SSTO/VTOLVL 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 portable, designed for relatively short-term, austere airfield operations. The Special Missions system is a highly portable system capable of rapid installation and use by [[Special Forces]].
