One of my favorite parts of the Woodford/Nakamura report mentioned in the article is that when they list the ideal requirements a new system should satisfy, they say that receivers should be cheap and portable.

Their threshold for cheap and portable was "Less than 100 pounds, less than $100,000". Definitely shows how far we've come.



The previous navy / army prototype systems were roughly tractor trailer sized, and only got your position within a few kilometers.
