OCX
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space based positioning, navigation and timing distribution system, which operates through weather and electromagnetic environments (jamming, spoofing, etc.). This project funds the research and development for the GPS next generation operational control system (OCX). This includes, but is not limited to, advanced concept development, systems engineering and analysis, modernized control segment development, training simulators, integrated logistics support products, and developmental test resources. The OCX acquisition was established to accomplish the following three objectives: 1) provide command and control of legacy and GPS III satellites, 2) incorporate situational awareness to support Navigation warfare and signal monitoring, and 3) enable mission capability upgrades to support warfighter effects-based approach to operations. OCX funds will support efforts such as 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 efforts to meet current and future Joint Requirements Oversight Council approved required capabilities. Funds will support technology development and systems development efforts. OCX Block 0 is the GPS satellite command and control system intended to conduct Launch and Early Orbit (LEO) operations and the checkout of all GPS III satellites. OCX Block 0 is a subset of OCX Block 1. OCX Block 1 fields the operational capability to control all legacy satellites and signals (L1C/A, L1P(Y), L2P(Y)) as well as the GPS III satellites and the L2C and L5 signals. It also fully meets information assurance/cyber defense requirements. OCX Block 2 fields the operational capability to control L1M and L2M (M-Code), and L1C signals. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that were fielded or received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
