    1. Lt Gen Michael Hamel Commander Space and Missile Systems Center

    3. Overall GPS program reached IOC in 1993 and FOC in 1995 SVs Block I SVs (11) launched between 1978 and 1985 Block II SVs (28) launched Feb 1989 – Sep 1996 Block IIR SVs (21) started launching Jan 1997 Space segment consists of 24 operational SVs at a minimum in 6 circular orbits ~11,000NM above the earth at an inclination angle of 55 degrees with a 12-hr period. SVs are spaced so that at any time, a minimum of 6 SVs are in view GPS SVs are in a Middle Earth Orbit (MEO) Need to receive signals from at least 4 SVs to get a 3-dimensional position, velocity, time (PVT) Overall GPS program reached IOC in 1993 and FOC in 1995 SVs Block I SVs (11) launched between 1978 and 1985 Block II SVs (28) launched Feb 1989 – Sep 1996 Block IIR SVs (21) started launching Jan 1997 Space segment consists of 24 operational SVs at a minimum in 6 circular orbits ~11,000NM above the earth at an inclination angle of 55 degrees with a 12-hr period.

    4. Launched a new era of GPS services First GPS IIR-M (14) launched 25 Sep 05, operational on 16 Dec 05 New military signal (M-Code) and new civil signal (L2C) GPS IIR-M (15) launched 25 Sep 06 Fielded operational improvements Legacy Accuracy Improvement Initiative--improves accuracy 10-50% Provide “zero age of data” to warfighters Continue to mature GPS Ops Center (GPSOC) capabilities New acquisition strategies for next generation GPS GPS III satellites – block development approach OCX Operational Control Segment – incremental design -development MUE/MSR – Modernized User Equipment/Modernized Space Receiver contracts underway/in work Established new USG interagency GPS governance processes – National PNT EXCOM (NPEC) and Coordinating Office (NPCO)

    5. GPS IIR-15(M) Launched Monday, 25 September 2006 1450 Eastern time Cape Canaveral, FL Second Modernized Block IIR satellite Will broadcast PRN Code 31 Anticipate setting healthy mid-October

    6. Plaque on GPS IIR-15(M)

    7. Continuous Performance Improvement

    8. Sustaining capabilities for military and civil users worldwide Maintain ground systems/on-orbit satellites, launch new satellites – partnership across AF Space Command Fielding GPS enhancements, such as L-AII Modernizing constellation with new signals and capabilities Second IIR-M launch Sep 06, first IIF launch 2008, first III launch 2013 New civil and military GPS signals Transitioning control segment from legacy to new Ops Control Segment (OCS) in Spring ‘07 Continuing work with Galileo and international community Developing next generation of GPS Acquisition strategies for space, ground, and user segments Synchronizing space, control, and user equipment upgrades Managing GPS systems & supporting stakeholders Technical baselines, interfaces, performance Supporting/participating in key fora – NPEC/NPCO, DSB, IRT, ION
