Your GPS will work in 2010?

The Gps Mobiles : I have several articles, the news that the GAO (Government Accountability Office), who warned that the Air Force has invested in upgrading the GPS and there is a possibility that the suspension of the GPS service could begin in 2010.

It seems that the Air Force is charged with the GPS system for the United States and had the ball in terms of maintaining their responsibility. This should not surprise anyone. Make sure that the government has a major role in U. S. AM-mail or via e Seat $ 1000.

Failure of the GPS network is a very serious problem. Army depends on the GPS navigation for ships, aircraft and troops. It is the U.S. industry and the public fully disclose any reliance on GPS.

According to the GAO report "In recent years the Air Force has successfully tried to build the GPS satellites to target cost and schedule, found major technical problems that still threaten their supplies, and fought with several suppliers. As a result, the satellite program on IIF exceeded the initial estimate cost about 870 million U.S. dollars and the launch of its first satellite has been postponed until November 2009 - almost 3 years too late. "The report adds:" When the Air Force is to fulfill its list of targets for the development of GPS III satellites will be more likely in 2010, including old satellites begin collapsing, the GPS constellation in any number of satellites for the GPS service levels to provide the commitment the U.S. government. The difference in performance could have a significant impact on all users of GPS. "

Has anyone heard of satellites, we know that sunlight causes degradation of the electronics on board. Globalstar service (satellite phone), had serious problems in 2006 by satellite in 2008, its satellites failed, and its replacement program had fallen behind. (Sound familiar /) These serious deficiencies cut their services to the point where communication was almost impossible. This can happen easily with GPS because failu lines for the system.

Imagine how the lack of GPS can affect your life. I am the captain and almost totally dependent on GPS navigation. Loran old systems are removed and replaced with GPS. All new GPS navigation systems are dependent.
