Boeing said it plans to perform a technological upgrade for the ground-control system of the Air Force's GPS satellites.

The new technology will allow the system to operate the new Boeing-built Global Positioning System (GPS) IIF satellites in addition to the current on-orbit GPS fleet, and provide advanced encryption and data-protection capabilities, Boeing said.

The first of 12 GPS IIF satellites is scheduled to launch in the third quarter of next year.
The satellites are being built in El Segundo.
