What project 67A023 buys
Mission Delta 31 is developing the Next Generation Operational Control System 3 Follow-on (OCX 3F) (Project 67A023) for Guardians across Position, Navigation, and Timing. As a result, the Service will improve readiness and operational reach of existing force structure. OCX Block 3 Follow-on (OCX 3F) will modify OCX Command and Control (C2) for new Global Positioning System (GPS) III Follow-On (GPS IIIF) satellites and Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) system capabilities, including Regional Military Protection (RMP) high-powered military signal to strengthen U.S. and allied forces' GPS resiliency in contested environments to mitigate future threats, and the ability to rapidly reconfigure GPS IIIF satellites to create time-critical warfighter effects. OCX 3F will maintain backward compatibility with the existing OCX capabilities to support the legacy GPS constellation as well as GPS IIIF. OCX 3F includes critical functions necessary to launch, command, control, and monitor GPS IIIF spacecraft, collect and integrate RMP high-power regional Military Code (M-Code) signals for rapid warfighter effects, and support GPS IIIF auxiliary payloads, including Search and Rescue (SAR) and Nuclear Detonation (NUDET) Detection System (NDS).

Project 67A023 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 79.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 69.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 110.1 |
| FY2028 | Outyear | 73.7 |
| FY2029 | Outyear | 29.6 |
| FY2030 | Outyear | 16.9 |
| FY2031 | Outyear | 7.0 |

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Complete software development to enable Global PNT C2 and continue software development for RMP checkout and Rapid Warfighter Effects (RWE) initial operations. Continue integration activities that support the validation of requirements with use of the OCX 3F GPS System Simulator. Deploy GPS IIIF Launch and Checkout System hardware…

Performers named in the R-3 exhibit under this project. Share is of the project's whole FY2027 R-3 total — the same denominator the program-element split uses, so the two read on one scale and will not sum to 100% when unnamed or government work is in the mix. Budget-justification contract funding, not obligations.
