Space Force kills OCX GPS ground control system, citing ‘insurmountable’ challenges

Space Force has cancelled the Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX) contract due to insurmountable challenges, as announced on April 17th. The program, managed by RTX, incurred costs of $6.27 billion, significantly exceeding initial estimates. Moving forward, the Space Force will enhance the existing GPS ground system, awarding Lockheed Martin a $105 million contract for related upgrades.
