GPS Media Kit

For more than 40 years, GPS has been the invisible backbone of global connectivity, linking warfighters, civilians, allies and partners with precision when it matters most. Today, nearly six billion people rely on the system daily. It enables advanced defense systems like the F-35 and Precision Strike Missile and supports critical sectors including transportation, banking and agriculture, underpinning U.S. leadership worldwide.

Lockheed Martin continues to advance this capability with next-generation satellites designed to outpace evolving threats. For the military, that means resilient spacecraft with enhanced anti-jam protection for contested environments. For civilians, it means safeguarding critical infrastructure and ensuring the reliability of the global economy.

With more than three decades of expertise on the GPS program, Lockheed Martin is modernizing the constellation through GPS III and GPS IIIF families of satellites. This momentum continues with a series of rapid launches, including GPS III SV09 which launched in January and SV10 no earlier than late April. With the final GPS III series satellite, SV10, the constellation will become more robust than ever, paving the way for GPS IIIF, which will deliver more than 60 times greater anti-jam capability than legacy systems.
