GPS III OCX
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space based Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) distribution system. This Program Element (PE) funds the Research and Development (R&D) for the next generation GPS control segment (OCX). This includes, but is not limited to, advanced concept development, systems engineering and analysis, modernized control segment development, training simulators, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) products, and developmental test resources. The OCX acquisition was established to 1) fly the GPS III satellites, 2) incorporate situational awareness to support Navwar and signal monitoring, and 3) enable mission capability upgrades to support warfighter Effects-Based Approach to Operations (EBAO). Funds will support engineering studies and analyses, architectural engineering studies, trade studies, technology needs forecasting, systems engineering, system development, test and evaluation efforts and mission operations in support of upgrades and product improvements for military and civil applications necessary to support efforts to protect U.S. military and allies' use of GPS. Additionally, funds will ensure a disciplined Capability Insertion Program (CIP) plan to meet Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved required capabilities. Funds will support science and technology, technology development and systems development efforts. Beginning in FY11, OCX funding is combined under the GPS III PE, 0305265F, and resides in a separate Budget Program Activity Code (BPAC) from the Space Vehicle development funding. This program is Budget Activity 4 - Advanced Component Development and Prototypes because it is in Phase A (Concept Development).
