Raytheon has submitted two strategic proposals for key Department of Defense space programs. The company will lead two separate industry teams in pursuit of the next-generation Global Positioning System Control Segment (OCX) and Network and Space Operations and Maintenance, or NSOM.

"With more than 35 years of high availability precision satellite ground command and control experience, Raytheon is uniquely positioned to leverage its space based navigation knowledge and expertise," said Michael

D. Keebaugh, president of Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems business. "This enables the U.S. Air Force to deliver the right systems to meet the needs of the military users and operators."

GPS OCX is a program to provide command, control, and mission support for current GPS Block II as well as future GPS Block III satellites with support to existing and new interfaces. The initial selection of two qualified competitors is scheduled for August 2007. The OCX program is valued at $160 million and is administered by the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif.

The NSOM program, which will be administered by the Air Force Space Command's 50th Space Wing, Schriever Air Force Base, Colo., will be executed over the next seven years.

The NSOM program will provide operations, maintenance and logistics support to a number of Department of Defense space systems that include but are not limited to the defense satellite communications system earth terminals; MILSTAR earth terminals; data link terminals; Air Force satellite control network remote tracking stations; global positioning system ground antennas, monitor stations and the master control station.
