The payloads feature a Mission Data Unit (MDU) with a 70 percent digital design that links atomic clocks, radiation-hardened computers and transmitters \u2014 enabling signals three times more accurate than those on current GPS satellites, according to Lockheed Martin.

In May, Lockheed Martin integrated Harris\u2019 second GPS 3 payload into GPS 3 SV02. The first navigation payload is already integrated aboard GPS 3 SV01, which has now completed rigorous testing and is in storage awaiting its expected 2018 launch.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is also developing a fully digital MDU for the U.S. Air Force\u2019s GPS 3 Space Vehicles 11+ acquisition.
