The Pentagon is considering canceling the U.S. Space Force’s Next-Generation Operational Control System (GPS OCX). RTX serves as the prime contractor for this critical ground control infrastructure project.
The program faces potential termination following years of significant operational delays and unreliable performance. The GPS OCX system missed its original 2016 operational start date.
Ballooning costs have further hindered the development of this national security asset. A cancellation would create uncertainty for the future of the GPS enterprise's ground control segment. This outcome could impact RTX’s future earnings and investor confidence in its government space contracts.
