  • L-3 inks contract with Lockheed Martin for GPS III C3M program

    The C3M software will support satellite test and on-orbit operations.

    -- Test & Measurement World, 11/3/2009 7:00:00 AM

    L-3 Telemetry-West, a division of L-3 Communications, has signed a contract with Lockheed Martin Space Systems to supply a C3M (Command, Control, Communications, and Monitor) system used in factory testing for the GPS III program. The C3M software is based on L-3 Telemetry-West's InControl software, which supports satellite test and on-orbit operations.

    "The selection of L-3 Telemetry-West for the GPS III C3M program again underscores InControl's ability to operate in multiple phases of a satellite mission, including satellite manufacturing and system testing," said Jim Presnell, VP of Engineering at L-3 Telemetry-West. In the C3M environment, InControl provides the test executive for Lockheed Martin's factory assembly, integration, and test of the GPS III satellites. The GPS III C3M program is the third in a series of large-satellite factory-test systems at Lockheed based on the InControl software.

    L-3 Telemetry-West will provide the C3M systems for primary assembly, integration, and test activities at Lockheed Martin Space Systems' Littleton, CO, location, as well as additional test systems at Lockheed Martin in Newtown, PA, and at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL.
