Preeminence in PNT is a National Objective
  • For the warfighter
  • Global PNT has revolutionized military operations
  • Reduced collateral damage (people,
    infrastructure)
  • Limits friendly fire vulnerability
  • Higher accuracy munitions
  • Fewer sorties to accomplish mission needs
    (reduces exposure)
  • Aircraft standoff capability minimizes exposure
    to highlydefended environments
  • Enhanced warfighter situational awareness Blue
    Force tracking
  • For the Nation and the World
  • Global PNT has also significantly enhanced
    civilian life
  • Air traffic control
  • Commercial navigation
  • Enable cellular communication
  • Demand will continue to grow well beyond next
    decade

Saves Warfighter Lives
  • Timing of critical financial transactions
  • Wildland fire management
  • Precision agriculture

GPS is essential for the conduct of any war and
an integral part of day-to-day life

Keys to the Global Success of GPS
  • Program Stability and Performance
  • Civil service performance commitment met
    continuously since 1993
  • Continuous improvements in accuracy,
    availability, etc.
  • Continuity of constellation and signals ensured
    throughAir Force operation and acquisition
  • Funding through U.S. taxpayers
  • Policy Stability and Transparency
  • Open access to civil GPS signals, free of direct
    user fees
  • Open, free, and stable technical documentation
  • Market-based competition worldwide
  • National-level policy coordination including
    civil and military leaders
  • Commercial Entrepreneurship and Investment

Summary
  • GPS has continuously met is commitments toall
    users since FOC
  • GPS has had multiple operational and acquisition
    successes in the past year
  • Modernization of all GPS Segments is on track
