GPS Control Segment Sustainment
1 Introduction
The GPS Control Segment (GCS) sustainment contract is the vehicle the GPS program sustainment organization (SMC/GPL) will use to satisfy the program director’s vision and mission. This contract succeeds the GPS IIF contract which expires 31 December 2012.
SMC/GPL is chartered to ensure the Operational Control Segment (OCS) viability until the next generation control segment (OCX) effort is developed and fielded. This contract provides organization and depot maintenance services to the operational unit. It encompasses, but is not limited to, hardware maintenance, software releases, technical documentation, system administration, information assurance, special studies, data collection and anomaly response.
1.1 Mission
Acquire, deliver and sustain reliable GPS and NDS capabilities to America's warfighters, allies and civil users.
1.2 Background
The primary mission of the GPS is to provide precise, continuous, all-weather, three-dimensional position, velocity, and time (PVT) to properly equipped air, land, sea, and space based users.
Civil applications include intercontinental in-route navigation (sea and air), vehicle monitoring, oceanic and coastal navigation, harbor operations, resource exploration, hydrographic and geophysical surveying, position reporting and monitoring, coordinating search operations and cell phone timing. The GPS satellites’ secondary payload, the Nuclear Detonation (NUDET)
Detection System (NDS), is a source of NUDET data for United States (US) military operations and treaty enforcement.
Three primary segments of GPS work together to accomplish the GPS mission: The Space
Segment (SS) of GPS satellites, the Control Segment (CS) of GPS ground-based command, control, and communications (C3) and signal monitoring assets, and the User Segment of GPS devices that receive the satellite PVT data. The Space Segment consists of all GPS space vehicles (SVs) currently in orbit: Block IIA, IIR, IIR-M, and Block IIF. A future block (i.e., the
Block III SVs) is currently under development. The CS commands and controls the SS to ensure it provides the users with the correct PVT information. The CS is operated on a daily basis by
Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) 2nd Space Operations Squadron (2 SOPS) military and civilian personnel. Control Segment sustainment requires expertise in current space vehicle operation as well as the ability to operate and maintain the hardware and software of the CS itself.
The GPS OCS Support Contract (GOSC) was awarded in 1995 as the CS sustainment contract including sustainment modifications and a major upgrade to the original legacy Master Control
Station (MCS). The upgrade, known as the Architecture Evolution Plan (AEP) was used to migrate the MCS from a mainframe-based to a distributed system. In October 1999 the Air
2 PWS: FA8823-12-R-0004
Force granted overall OCS responsibility to a single contractor under what was called the Single
Prime Initiative (SPI). The SPI contractor assumed total performance responsibility for delivering and maintaining all configurations of the OCS as part of the Block IIF satellite development contract. This SPI contract expires in December 2012 and will be replaced by the
GCS sustainment contract.
The current GPS control system, AEP, cannot control all the modernized features of GPS Block
IIR-M and IIF satellites or control the future GPS Block III satellites. Furthermore, the current and anticipated need for increased situational awareness on the part of the system user has outgrown the capacity of AEP and OCS. Net-centricity and Global Information Grid (GIG) requirements, and the call for flexible and extensible systems that can grow to meet future needs without considerable redesign and potential disruption of operations, require a satellite control system that takes advantage of modern enterprise architectures and software development tools.
A replacement Control Segment, the Next Generation Control Segment (known as OCX) contract, was awarded in February 2010. CS sustainment was to transition to OCX by the end of the IIF Contract, but OCX will not be ready to assume sustainment and a GCS contract is needed until then.
The CS provides on-orbit operational control of the satellite constellation. The CS consists of the Architectural Evolution Plan (AEP) version of the Operational Control System (OCS); the
Launch and Early Orbit, Anomaly Resolution and Disposal Operations (LADO) System;
Auxiliary Equipment (AE) for connection to the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN);
and test, training and support assets. NOTE: The scope of this contract does not include
LADO.
Additionally, the current GPS network consists of 2 each, dedicated, near T-1 speed circuits that run from either the GPS Master Control Station (MCS) or the Alternate Master Control Station
(AMCS) to four remote sites for a total of 8 operational circuits. In addition there are seven external user circuits (High Accuracy Navigation User (HANU), United States Naval
Observatory (USNO), Integrated Mission Operational Support Center (IMOSC), Operational
Support System (OSS), Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), Integrated
Correlation and Display System (ICADS), and Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN)), five circuits between the MCS and AMCS, four circuits between the MCS and Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station (AFS), FL and five other circuits (National Geospatial Agency (NGA) and current sustainment contractor) that are configured in the same manner as the operational circuits. This is a current total of 29 circuits.
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is the long haul communication provider for all these circuits and is responsible for the maintenance of the circuit from DISA’s Point of Presence
(PoP), as designated by them, at the originating site to their PoP at the remote site.
This contract covers the maintenance of the remaining portion of each of these circuits at both ends of the circuit (i.e., the portion between the DISA PoP and the GPS end user equipment at each site). If the circuit is broken in the GPS segment it will be the contractor’s responsibility to repair that circuit. If the failure of the circuit is due to crypto keys or crypto equipment, the contractor will report this specific outage to the local crypto organization. The contractor will assist in correcting the problem by troubleshooting and effecting repair with the local crypto
3 PWS: FA8823-12-R-0004
organization. The local crypto organization will provide replacement crypto equipment, if needed.
The current OCS is comprised of three major elements: 1) the Master Control Station (MCS) and Alternate Master Control Station (AMCS); 2) four dedicated Ground Antennas (GA); and 3) six Monitor Stations (MS). The MCS is located at Schriever and is the center for all on-orbit
GPS mission control operations. The AMCS is located at Vandenberg. The four GAs are located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) Florida, Ascension Island in the South
Atlantic, Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, and Kwajalein Atoll in the mid-Pacific. The six
MSs are located at SAFB, Kaena Point in Hawaii, Ascension, Diego Garcia, Kwajalein and Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida.
The MCS and AMCS are consolidated centers for the control and monitoring of the Space
Segment. They are also the Command, Control and Communications (C3) centers for the OCS.
Only one of the Control Stations can be in control of the constellation at any one time. The OCS has Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) connectivity to all Automated Remote
Tracking Station (ARTS) sites and provides full support to external users from both the MCS and AMCS. The following paragraphs describe OCS assets which are subject to GCS support
(i.e., GCS supported systems).
Master Control Station (MCS) and Alternate MCS (AN/FSQ-217)
The purpose of the MCS is to provide constellation management. The MCS collects navigation signals from each satellite, recalculates the satellite’s correct position and on-board atomic frequency standards (a.k.a. the atomic clock) corrections, and updates the navigation signal through upload commands. The MCS is responsible for operational maintenance of the GPS constellation. This responsibility requires the MCS to analyze the State of Health (SOH) of each satellite and to interpret associated navigation messages. The MCS is located in Module (MOD)
11 in Building 400 at SAFB.
The AMCS facility is located at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB). The AMCS is functionally identical to the AEP MCS, and serves as the backup to the MCS. As the backup to operations, the AMCS has direct connectivity to operational OCS resources and users. The
AMCS is capable of performing all operations and planning normally conducted in the MCS.
GPS Information Network (GIN) (AN/FYN-1)
The GIN provides the CS a capability for 2 SOPS operators to assist military and civilian users and optimize their use of GPS. Located at Schriever AFB adjacent to the MCS and part of the overall OCS, it consists of an ensemble of hardware and software accessible via the internet to external users. A major aspect of GIN operations is support for US and coalition warfighters conducting missions which require time critical, high precision application of GPS capabilities.
Support for the GIN will be required 24/7.
Ground Antennas (GA) (AN/FRC-178)
The GAs are a group of four dedicated GAs at remote sites that transmit commands to satellites and receive vehicle telemetry. The GAs have the capability to receive and store the commands
4 PWS: FA8823-12-R-0004
from the MCS for later transmission. Daily on-site maintenance is provided via a separate contract, 12 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Monitor Stations (MS) (AN/FSN-5)
The MSs are comprised of six GPS receiver stations at Remote Sites that collect L-Band signals and send the signals to the MCS. The MSs track each vehicle that comes into view. MCS personnel can select the satellites that are tracked by individual MSs. Data from the MSs are used by the MCS to update the navigation messages broadcast by each satellite, thus providing the most accurate navigation data to users. Daily on-site maintenance is provided via a separate contract, 12 hours a day, 5 days a week.
GPS Support Facility (GSF)
The GSF is a facility in Building 400 at Schriever AFB CO. The A/F24U-8 Maintenance
Manual describes the primary function of the GSF as support for the MCS mission. The GSF is not an operational asset, but it provides resources for software testing and integration, and anomaly resolution. The GSF provides a system functionally identical to the MCS and hosts a
GPS System Simulator for testing of software releases and system modifications.
GPS System Simulator (GSS)
The GSS in the GSF provides high fidelity simulations of an entire GPS constellation (up to 30
Block IIA, Block IIR, and Block IIR-M and IIF satellites), as well as 20 MSs, 11 of which may be National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) stations. The GSS provides full command and response capabilities, interactive models, full environment simulation, and selected payload simulation. It provides flexible usage for software development, testing, anomaly resolution and analysis. Simulated GA inputs, such as telemetry and command verification, are also provided to the AEP system by the GSS.
Positional Training Emulator (PTE) (AN/FSQ-217-T)
The PTE is a classified trainer located in Building 400 at Schriever AFB, which retains the training capabilities inherent in the AEP/GSS combination and adds capabilities specific to positional training and instructor control. The PTE provides a capability to train the following
GPS operational crew positions: Payload Systems Operator (PSO), Satellite Systems Operator
(SSO), and Satellite Vehicle Operator (SVO).
Telecommunications Simulators
The telecommunications simulators consist of hardware and software which simulate the Space
Vehicles (SVs) and are used for the sustainment of OCS software and hardware development, testing, checkout, software verification, cross-link and tri-link testing. Each satellite block has a separate telecommunications simulator provided by the manufacturer comprised of satellite hardware similar to the flight articles and buses from each of the respective satellite families.
Maintenance of the telecommunications simulators is provided via a separate contract; however, test set up, including use of these assets, is within scope of this contract.
5 PWS: FA8823-12-R-0004
Telecommunications Simulator Test Station (TSTS) (AN/FSQ-200)
The TSTS is located adjacent to the GPS GA at CCAFS. The TSTS is comprised of the Monitor
Station Test Station (MSTS) and the Radio Frequency Interface System (RFIS), Radio
Frequency (RF) digitizers and communications equipment that interface with Ground Antenna
Test Simulator (GATS) equipment in the Consolidated Test Environment (CTE). The TSTS also replicates most of the functions of an operational MS and provides the interface between the
CTE/GSF and SV simulators. The TSTS consists of three shelters that also house the three
Telecommunications Simulators: the Telecommunications Simulator Module (TSM Block
II/IIA), Modernized Telecommunications Simulator (MTS - Block IIR), and the Satellite
Telecommunications Simulator (STS - Block IIF).
Consolidated Test Environment (CTE)
The OCS Consolidated Test Environment in Colorado Springs CO was built to support GPS sustainment maintenance, test and integration activities. The CTE consists of the following labs and test capabilities:
AEP Engineering Lab
AEP Formal Test Lab
Black Sustainment Lab
Simulation (SIM) (PTE) Lab
GPS Information Network (GIN) Lab
GPS Sustainment Information Management System (GSIMS) and Lab
