GPS (OCX) - Building space-navigation superiority starts from the ground up

The U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center awarded Raytheon a $160 million, 18-month contract to develop a new system design for the next-generation global positioning system control segment (GPS OCX), which will enhance both warfighter and civilian GPS performance. The contract award was November 21, 2007.

Raytheon is proud to be developing the next generation GPS OCX with new anti-jamming technologies, more advanced predictive algorithms, and more frequent clock and ephemeris updates to give America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines secure, accurate, and precise information they can depend on – even in the face of enemy countermeasures – around the clock anywhere on or over the planet.

By enabling all-weather, around-the-clock precision operations, GPS has become a game-changing advantage that helps America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines cut through the fog of war. Next generation GPS OCX will allow us to maintain that advantage in the face of higher demand for GPS systems and resilient adversaries trying to jam and disrupt GPS signals.

Whether enabling an infantryman or pilot to know his or her precise location, giving theater commanders an accurate picture of their forces relative to enemies and allies alike, or putting munitions precisely on target while avoiding unintended casualties, America’s warfighters depend on GPS.

Raytheon brings over four decades of high-availability precision satellite command and control systems experience to GPS OCX. In addition to deploying 110 unique satellite ground systems, Raytheon has a solid history of successful time-certain delivery.

Raytheon teammates include Boeing, ITT Industries, Braxton Technologies, Infinity Systems Engineering and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
