An apparatus and method for detecting the type of Selective Availability (SA) engine in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The apparatus reverse computes a User Equivalent Range Error (UERE) value and filters it. The filtered value is run through a hysteresis to determine the GPS engine type. The engine type determination is used to adjust values used by other systems.
