The Pentagon has terminated the Global Positioning System Next-Generation Operational Control System, or OCX, after 16 years of development and escalating costs. US Space Force officials cited insurmountable testing issues that risked current GPS capabilities. The program, originally awarded to Raytheon in 2010, will be replaced by upgrades to the existing legacy system.

The US Space Force is considering options including cancellation for its GPS Next-Generation Operational Control System, known as OCX, nine months after taking ownership from RTX. The system, intended to manage advanced GPS satellites, remains nonoperational despite years of development and billions in costs. Assistant Secretary Thomas Ainsworth informed Congress of ongoing extensive issues across subsystems.
