Interagency GPS Executive Board
open-in-new
<p>The Interagency GPS Executive Board (IGEB) was an agency of the <a href="/facts/United_States_federal_government/VJCxUaf7">United States federal government</a> that sought to integrate the needs and desires of various governmental agencies into formal <a href="/facts/Global_Positioning_System/DKVLnzF3">Global Positioning System</a> Planning. GPS was administered by <a href="/facts/United_States_Department_of_Defense/dWAvf7e3">the Department of Defense</a>, but had grown to service a wide variety of constituents. The majority of GPS uses are now non-military, so this board was fundamental in ensuring the needs of non-military users. </p><p>In 2004, the IGEB was superseded by the <a href="/facts/National_Executive_Committee_for_Space-Based_Positioning%2c_Navigation_and_Timing/685mv5Rz">National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing</a> (PNT), established by presidential order. </p>
