Enhancing Resilience Against Future Threats With Advanced Technology
Lockheed Martin has secured an additional $114 million to modernize the GPS ground segment, with a focus on strengthening the system’s security against future threats. The company received two task orders from the U.S. Space Force to support the GPS IIIF Contingency Operations System and the Architecture Evolution Plan. The upgrades will enable the deployment of more M-Code-enabled GPS IIIF spacecraft, enhancing anti-jamming capability and signal resilience. This work builds on Lockheed Martin’s longstanding partnership under the Space Force’s GPS Control Segment Sustainment contract, as reported by Sikorsky.
