Augmentation

Are there any USA counterparts reading this thread that may be able to comment on LPV approaches used in the US with regard to WAAS augmentation capability? This then allows a glideslope indicator to be used for vertical guidance and has in fact lead to lower minimums throughout the US.

I believe AirServices have been considering for some time this method, but are undecided about whether to use the US, Japanese or Euro's augmentation system.

This has got to be a much safer system and we can only hope that the procrastination ends before another tragedy results.
