OCX Phase B Government Statement of Work INTRODUCTION: OCX - GPS Advanced Control Segment (GPS Ground System) The GPS system is acquired by the Global Positioning Systems Wing (GPSW), Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), Los Angeles AFB, El Segundo, California.
GPS is a satellite-based radio navigation system that provides accurate position, velocity, and time (PNT) for military and civil users worldwide. To achieve overall system capability requires three key but distinct segments: Command & Control, Space Vehicles, and User Equipment. System level requirements are allocated to these three segments which are synchronized to enable satisfaction of system performance standards and required operational capability.
This statement of work is associated with the Ground based command and control segment of GPS. The GPS Advanced Control Segment (OCX) will provide new capabilities to continue to ensure GPS remains the world standard for PNT and eliminates shortcomings and vulnerabilities inherent in the current architecture that threaten to severely impact vital military operations, civil commerce, transportation, and public safety.
The overall acquisition strategy is to incrementally develop a ground control segment that can introduce new capabilities through block deliveries to operations. This strategy will reduce overall execution risk, deliver new capability to the field faster, and enable a more predictable and executable cost, schedule, and performance baseline.
1. Scope This GSOW covers design, development, testing, integration, verification, validation, deployment, transition to operations, and sustainment throughout the GPS OCX life cycle. Specifically, OCX shall support the assured integrity and continuity of the GPS control system in compliance with the GPS III Control Segment Specification (SS-CS-800). This GSOW tracks to the OCX Phase B Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and describes the effort required to complete OCX Blocks 1.0 and 2.0. It covers all tasks to achieve: command and control of the GPS IIA, IIR, IIR-M, IIF, and IIIA SVs, replace the OCS Master Control Station (MCS) with a new OCX MCS, replace the OCS Alternate Master Control Station (AMCS) with a new OCX AMCS, upgrade or replace the Air Force and NGA Monitor Stations associated with changes to communications networks, provide the ability to monitor all current GPS signals as well as L1C, L2C, L5 and M-Code and deliver new/upgraded support facilities. It includes modifications to the existing GPS Ground Antennas (GAs), if needed, to ensure compatibility with new/modified OCX interfaces. It also includes tasks for the evolution of the control segment to deliver a robust infrastructure for new information assurance, integrity, and net centricity requirements to support future NAVWAR and Effects Based Operations (EBO) capabilities. This GSOW also includes a capability insertion program which studies, analyzes, demonstrates, tests, and prototypes key technologies capabilities relevant to OCX Block 3.0 and OCX Block 4.0.
