Long-pending
Pentagon plans to solicit bids for a new generation
of significantly enhanced, more-powerful GPS have been
delayed at least a year, partly due to Air Force policy
changes that stress less-risky, incremental acquisition
of new space hardware, according to military and industry
officials. On the drawing boards since the late 1990s
and previously projected to be put out for bid this
year, the so-called GPS III programme remains in limbo
as Air Force and Pentagon brass mull its design and
timing.
