3 GEARSS Atch 1 – Performance Work Statement

1 Introduction The GPS Engineering, Analysis & Remote Site Sustainment (GEARSS) contract is the vehicle the GPS program sustainment organization (SMC/GPL) will use to satisfy the AFSPC/CC vision that all sustainment contracts for mission system maintenance and support fall under SMC contract management and administration. SMC/GPL is chartered to ensure the Operational Control Segment (OCS) viability until the next generation control segment (OCX) effort is developed and fielded. GEARSS provides organizational maintenance and operational support services to the operational unit that will include Remote Site Technicians (RST), Network Administrative Officers (NAO) and operations support which were not originally included in the GCS contract because those task were accomplished as part of the NSOM contract.

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 operations as well as the ability to operate and maintain the hardware and software of the CS itself.

The GCS sustainment contract was awarded on 13 December 2012 with contract start on 1 January 2013. The SMC/GPL awarded GCS contract has one base year with five option years and a six-month extension of services clause. The GCS and GEARSS contracts will provide essential operations, maintenance & sustainment support until the Next Generation OCS (OCX) is fielded.

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

4 GEARSS Atch 1 – Performance Work Statement

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-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and test facilities) that are configured in the same manner as the operational circuits.

This is a current total of approximately 30 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.

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 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).

The Architecture Evolution Plan (AEP) is the C2 system for GPS Block II operated by 2 SOPS. AEP will be replaced by OCX.

41TMaster 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 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.

41TGPS Information Network (GIN) (AN/FYN-1)

5 GEARSS Atch 1 – Performance Work Statement

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.

41TGround 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 from the MCS for later transmission.

41TMonitor 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.

41TGPS 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.

41TGPS 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 4 GAs and 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.

41TPositional 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).

6 GEARSS Atch 1 – Performance Work Statement

41TTelecommunications 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.

41TTelecommunications 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), the Satellite Telecommunications Simulator (STS - Block IIF), and the GPS III Satellite Simulator (GSS – Block III).
