Security upgrades for the ground control system of Air Force GPS satellites are now operational.
The GPS Intrusion Protection Reinforcement (GIPR) upgrades, developed by Lockheed Martin, will enhance data security, according to a Lockheed Martin news release.
“Beyond data protection, GIPR resolves many equipment obsolescence issues and increases system maintainability with modern vendor-supported hardware and operating systems,” Lockheed Martin said. The upgrades include system design, hardware procurement, software development, network configuration design, and technical documentation.
