Air Force Sees Some Delays, Cost Growth In GPS Program.
The Air Force found that the GPS IIF program has experienced delays caused by several problems.
According to the Air Force, they are:
*Complexity of the M-Code Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design
*The magnitude of the effort required for the assembly, integration and test (AI&T) progress
*Late subcontractor navigation payload hardware deliveries
Those deliveries should have gone on time to the prime contractor, Boeing [BA].
The global positioning advancement encountered several programmatic and technical issues since a Selected Acquisition Report (SAR) last December. SARs detail cost overruns and schedule delays.
