The recent PDR (Preliminary Design Review) by the US Air Force of the next generation GPS Operational Control Segment, (OCX) under development by Raytheon, was not approved. The US Air Force chose to "Withold Approval" until actions from the PDR could be reviewed.
This is not good news for Raytheon and may point to trouble down the line for OCX. In the current economic environment, adding costs to an already costly program is not in the cards. If the current OCX design is not sufficient, what next? Will more funding, if required, be appropriated?
Keep an eye on this one - it could be a storm.
