URaytheon uwina inkontileka ye-Space Force OCX yokushintsha i-IBM kit ye-GPS III

Kuzothatha isikhundla samakhompiyutha e-IBM asetshenziswa njengamanje ukuphatha i-GPS constellation ngezinhlelo ezivela eHewletlet Packard Enterprise, ngaphansi kwemvumelwano yenkontileka ebiza u- $ 378m. Umsebenzi lo kumele uqedwe ngo-Ephreli 2022 futhi uyingxenye yohlelo olubanzi lwe-GPS Enterprise Modernization lwe-GPS III.

GPS III

I-OCX ihloselwe ukuletha umthamo we-satellite ephindwe kabili, ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda yokuphepha kwe-cyber, ukunemba okuthuthukile, okutholakale emhlabeni jikelele okutholwe ngabantu abatholakalayo ngamakhono we-anti-jam kanye nokutholakala okuthuthukile endaweni enzima.

"I-OCX ibaluleke kakhulu ekuqhubekeni phambili nemizamo kazwelonke yokuphucula i-GPS ngolwazi olusha lwezempi kanye nezikhundla zomphakathi, kufaka phakathi ukuphepha okuthuthukile, ukunemba, ukuthembeka, nobuqotho," kusho uBarbara Baker, umholi we-SMC Command nomphathi ophakeme we-Management Division. "I-OCX izoletha amandla aseGPS aqinile, athembekile kuma-warfighter, e-allies, nakubasebenzisi bomphakathi."

Ukukhishwa kwekhithi ye-IBM kudalwe kuqala ngumkhiqizo we-IBM x86 womkhiqizo othengiselwe eLenovo, kuthi i-IBM izibophezele ukuxhasa i-Hardware yabo kuze kube ngu-Agasti 2022.

"Eminyakeni emibili nesigamu edlule, selokhu i-OCX iphume nokwephulwa kwayo kweNunn McCurdy, uRaytheon ubelokhu ehlelile njengoba behlelile, nokusinikeza ukuzethemba emandleni we-OCX okuguqukela ekusebenzeni," kusho uLt. Gen. John Thompson, umphathi we-SMC. "Ukuthuthukiswa kwesoftware kuphothulwe ukuwa kokugcina kanti uhlelo lusezingeni lokuhlanganiswa kanye nokuhlolwa. Kungakapheli nonyaka, uRaytheon uzoletha isisekelo sesoftware esifanelekile esisebenza ku-constellation ye-GPS.

"Lokhu kusinikeze isiqiniseko sokuthi sinesisombululo sobuchwepheshe esisebenzayo se-OCX esihlinzeka ngesisekelo sendawo esisebenza isikhathi eside sama-computer esihlangabezana nezidingo zethu zokuphepha ezinobungozi be-cyber," kusho uLt. Col Thomas Gabriele, umholi we-OCX we-SMC. "Njengoba uRaytheon eqhubeka nokulandela izibopho zabo zesivumelwano, ebeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwezokuphepha kwi-IBM ukuhlakanipha ukuhlinzekela ukulethwa kwangaphambili kohulumeni. Yize lolu shintsho oluqondwe nguhulumeni luzothinta uhlelo lweRaytheon, uhulumeni ubophezelekile ukuthi uRaytheon alethe isoftware efanelekile ngaphambi kokuhlanganisa isiteji se-HPE futhi asebenze ezindaweni ezisebenzayo. "

UMnyango Wezokuvikela wase-US

Ngesonto eledlule abakwaSpace Force baseMelika bamemezele lesi sivumelwano, kanti izolo uMnyango Wezokuvikela e-US ukhiphe imininingwane yenkontileka.

"Ukushintshwa kwenkontileka kuzodinga ukuthi uRaytheon abeke kabusha imishini ye-IBM ngemishini ye-HPE yayo yonke i-OCX Block 1 Deliveable Environments," kusho lesi simemezelo. "Umsebenzi uzokwenziwa e-Aurora, eColorado, kanti kulindeleke ukuthi uqedwe ngo-Ephreli 30, 2022."

Isikhungo se-Space and Missile Systems sisuselwa eLos Angeles Air Force Base. Kanye nokunakekela i-GPS imisebenzi yayo ifaka phakathi ezokuxhumana kwe-satellite yezempi, iziphuphutheki zezulu lemvelo, ukuvulwa kwesikhala kanye nohlelo lwezinhlelo, amanethiwekhi wokulawulwa kwesiphuphutheki, amasistimu we-infrared asesikhathini, namandla okuqwashisa ngendawo.

Isithombe: isithombe sase-US Air Force esenziwe ngu-Airman Amanda Lovelace - Ukusuka kwesobunxele, uCol Laurel Walsh, umphathi we-50th Operations Group, kanye ne-Airman 1st Class uMichael McCowan, umphathi we-2nd Space Operations squadron satellite kanye ne-mission planner, banikeze umyalo wokugcina wokunquma Vehicle Vehicle Inombolo-36 eSchriever Air Force Base, eColorado, Jan. 27, 2020. I-SVN-36 yethulwa ngoMashi 10, 1994, yadlula iminyaka yayo eyisilinganiso.
