GPS is a satellite-based radio navigation system that delivers the gold standard in PNT services to America's military, U.S. allies, and civil users. The satellites serve as a crucial technological foundation for the Internet, financial, transportation, and agricultural operations, with more than 4 billion users depending on the PNT signals.GPS III vehicles provide three times greater accuracy and eight times greater anti-jamming capability over existing satellites in the constellation. To better address mission needs and emerging threats, Lockheed Martin intentionally created GPS III with a modular design, allowing new technology and capabilities to be added in the future.
GPS Block III (previously Block IIIA) consists of the first ten GPS III satellites, which keep the Navstar Global Positioning System operational. Lockheed Martin designed, developed, and manufactured the GPS III Non-Flight Satellite Testbed (GNST) and all ten Block III satellites. The first satellite in the series was launched in December 2018.
As of December 9, 83 Global Positioning System navigation satellites had been built: 31 were launched and operational, 3 were in reserve or testing, 42 were retired, 2 were lost during launch, and 1 prototype was never launched.
