GPS Monitor Station Receivers Deployed

摘要

Three of six new Lockheed Martin-developed receivers are now deployed at U.S. Air Force monitoring stations to maintain the accuracy of GPS satellite signals. In June, the first Monitor Station Technology Improvement Capability (MSTIC) receiver became operational at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Upgrades continued at USAF monitoring stations at Kwajalein Atoll and Hawaii. These upgrades from early 1990s technology are part of an overall effort to modernize the current GPS ground control system, known as the Architecture Evolution Plan Operational Control Segment.
