The $6.2 billion Next-Generation Operational Control System, or OCX, being built by Raytheon Technologies for that purpose is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/c2-comms\/satellites\/2019\/05\/22\/raytheon-rejects-report-that-62-billion-gps-project-will-be-delayed-further\/\" target=_blank>five years behind schedule and isn\u2019t expected to be delivered until June 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To provide access for war fighters in the interim, the Air Force awarded Lockheed Martin a contingency operations contract in 2016 to build an M-code upgrade to the current GPS Operational Control System. That M-Code Early Use upgrade will allow war fighters with the appropriate equipment to use some aspects of the new military signal until OCX is ready. M-Code Early Use was delivered in June 2019, entered a trial period in October and was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2020\/03\/31\/plan-b-for-gps-iii-ground-system-approved-for-everyday-use\/\" target=_blank>approved for everyday use in March 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M-Code Early Use hardware and software upgrades were completed July 27, clearing the path for the system to enter the operational acceptance phase in November 2020. Installation took place at the master control station at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado and the alternate master control stations at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upgrades allow OCS to task, upload and monitor M-code on the GPS constellation and will support testing and fielding military ground user equipment that can receive the signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWorking closely with Lockheed Martin and our other mission partners \u2014 with the common national goal of providing enhanced [positioning, navigation and timing] signal security and safety always in sharp focus \u2014 means we\u2019re able to deliver the right mission capability faster to our warfighters,\u201d said Lt. Col. Steven Nielson, program manager of the M-Code Early Use project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the new anti-spoofing, anti-jamming, encrypted M-code signal has been
