1. Modernization and GPS III Southern California Section ION Meeting 11 March 2009

2. Overview GPS SS Current Status Overview of Current Space Segment Status Modernization Improvements IIR-M, IIF, IIIA GPS III Discussion will focus on GPS III Summary

3. GPS – Serving the World Constellation– the largest ever - 31 Healthy Satellites 13 Block IIA 12 Block IIR 6 Block IIR-M 31st satellite, SVN 23, set healthy, achieved 31 healthy satellite constellation for first time ever Most Recent Launch IIR-19(M) – 6th modernized SV Launched Wednesday, 15 Mar 08 SVN 48, PRN 7 Set healthy on 24 Mar 08 Next Launches IIR-20(M) – Mar 09 – L5 demo payload IIR-21(M) – Aug 09 IIF-1 – Oct 09

4. SPS Signal in Space Performance

5. GPS Modernization Program

6. Second Civil Signal (L2C) Designed to meet commercial needs Higher accuracy via ionospheric correction Expected to generate over $5 billion in user productivity benefits Available since 2005 On 24 satellites by 2016

7. Third Civil Signal (L5) Designed to meet demanding requirements for transport safety Uses highly protected Aeronautical Radionavigation Service (ARNS) band May also enable global, decimeter-level accuracy using new techniques Opportunity for international interoperability Demonstration signal to be launched in 2009 24 satellites by 2018

8. Fourth Civil Signal (L1C) Designed with international partners for interoperability Modernized civil signal at L1 frequency More robust navigation across a broad range of user applications Improved performance in challenged tracking environments Original L1 C/A signal retained for backward compatibility Launches with GPS III A in 2014 On 24 satellites by ~2021

9. New Civil Signals Summary Second civil signal “L2C” Designed to meet commercial needs Higher accuracy through ionospheric correction 1st launch: Sep 2005 (GPS IIR-M); 24 satellites: ~2016 Third civil signal “L5” Designed to meet demanding requirements for transportation safety-of-life 1st launch: ~ 2009 (GPS IIF); 24 satellites: ~2018 Fourth civil signal “L1C” Designed with international partners for GNSS interoperability Begins with GPS Block III 1st launch: ~2014; 24 satellites: ~2021

10. GPS – Spectrum

11. GPS III Update Contract for GPS III-A satellites awarded, May 2008 Lockheed making excellent progress toward PDR, 19/71 milestones Selective Availability feature to be eliminated Next-Generation Operational Control Segment (OCX) Needed for Block III satellites & full functionality of modernized signals Will implement full functionality of L2C and L5 Awarded Phase A contracts to Northrop Grumman and Raytheon, Nov 2007 Future increments of GPS III will incorporate additional capabilities As technology matures and new requirements are validated

12. GPS III- Spiral Development GPS III developed as a low risk capability insertion program GPS III A Provides initial capability for GPS III, new signals, added power GPS III B Directional crosslinks demonstration Enhanced ranging Enhanced integrity GPS III C Spot Beam demonstration Enhanced anti-jam capability

13. Summary Largest constellation in history with best accuracy ever GPS III A design phase successfully moving forward GPS III will provide modernized design and technology insertion New signal design Increased availability Increased integrity Increased accuracy
