Lockheed Martin has completed the bus real-time simulator (BRTS) for the next-generation global positioning system (GPS III) and delivered it to Aerospace Corporation.

GPS III will improve position, navigation and timing services and provide advanced anti-jam capabilities yielding superior system security, accuracy and reliability for over 750 million users around the globe.

The BRTS is specialised test equipment designed to reduce risk and ensure total mission success for the lifecycle of the GPS III programme.

The BRTS will allow Aerospace Corporation to independently validate GPS III bus flight software for the US Air Force.

The equipment will be used by Aerospace Corporation throughout the GPS III development to test and confirm the satellite’s guidance and navigation functions.

The first launch of a GPS III satellite is scheduled for 2014 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
