Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) Air Integration/Installation Program

Abstract

This is a report of COMOPTEVFOR's follow-on operational test and evaluation (OT-IIB) of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) User Equipment (UE) as installed in the P-3C update III aircraft, performed under CNO Project 190-4. The purpose of OT-IIIB was to determine the operational effectiveness and suitability of the GPS UE as installed in the P-3C update III, to initiate tactics development to support promulgation of an OPTEVFOR Tactics Guide (OTG), and to support a recommendation regarding extension application (EOA) to platforms with similar Type 3 installations. The GPS UE, as installed in the p-3C update III aircraft is determined to be operationally effective and not operationally suitable. Approval for fleet introduction in the P-3C of the GPS UE is recommended following correction of the Major interoperability, human factor and documentation deficiencies (see par. 8c) and corrections verified to CNO's satisfaction.
