SPS Signal in Space Performance
System accuracy exceeds published standard
5
Block IIA/IIR Block IIIBlock IIR-M, IIF• Backward compatibility• 4th civil signal (L1C)• Increased accuracy• Increased anti-jam
power• Increased availability• Increased integrity
IIR-M: IIA/IIR capabilities plus
• 2nd civil signal (L2C)
• M-Code (L1M & L2M)
IIF: IIR-M capability plus
• 3rd civil signal (L5)
• 2 Rb + 1 Cs clocks
• 12 year design life
Basic GPS
• Standard Service
• Single frequency (L1)
• Coarse acquisition (C/A) code navigation
• Precise Service
• Y-Code (L1Y & L2Y)
• Y-Code navigation
Increasing System Capabilities Increasing Defense / Civil Benefit
GPS Modernization Program

Second Civil Signal (L2C)
• Designed to meet commercial needs– Higher accuracy via ionospheric correction
– Expected to generate over $5 billion in user productivity benefits
• Available since 2005• On 24 satellites by 2016
Increases accuracyfor consumers
Supports miniaturization, possible indoor use
Benefits existing professional receivers
7
Third Civil Signal (L5)
• Designed to meet demanding requirements for transport safety– Uses highly protected Aeronautical
Radionavigation Service (ARNS) band
• May also enable global, decimeter-level accuracy using new techniques
• Opportunity for international interoperability
• Demonstration signal to be launched in 2009
• 24 satellites by 2018
8
Fourth Civil Signal (L1C)
• Designed with international partners for interoperability
• Modernized civil signal at L1 frequency– More robust navigation across a broad
range of user applications– Improved performance in challenged
tracking environments– Original L1 C/A signal retained for
backward compatibility
• Launches with GPS III A in 2014• On 24 satellites by ~2021
Under trees
Inside cities

New Civil Signals Summary
• Second civil signal “L2C”– Designed to meet commercial needs
– Higher accuracy through ionospheric correction
– 1st launch: Sep 2005 (GPS IIR-M); 24 satellites: ~2016
• Third civil signal “L5”– Designed to meet demanding requirements for transportation safety-
of-life
– 1st launch: ~ 2009 (GPS IIF); 24 satellites: ~2018
• Fourth civil signal “L1C”– Designed with international partners for GNSS interoperability
– Begins with GPS Block III
– 1st launch: ~2014; 24 satellites: ~2021

GPS III Update
• Contract for GPS III-A satellites awarded, May 2008– Lockheed making excellent progress toward
PDR, 19/71 milestones
– Selective Availability feature to be eliminated
• Next-Generation Operational Control Segment (OCX)– Needed for Block III satellites & full functionality
of modernized signals
– Will implement full functionality of L2C and L5
– Awarded Phase A contracts to Northrop Grumman and Raytheon, Nov 2007
• Future increments of GPS III will incorporate additional capabilities– As technology matures and new requirements
are validated
12
GPS III- Spiral Development
• GPS III developed as a low risk capability insertion
program
• GPS III A– Provides initial capability for GPS III, new signals, added power
• GPS III B– Directional crosslinks demonstration
• Enhanced ranging
