'It's probably going to affect so many lives.'
,"resilient approaches to augment the GPS system are needed to maintain users' access." The new satellite will also test technologies that allow GPS connections to be maintained in military conflict zones.
NTS-3 is going to"help with all of our GPS systems," Amarachi Egbuziem-Ciolkosz, an engineer with the 772nd Test Squadron, said in."It's probably going to affect so many lives, not just military but commercial alike." The BAF is the largest anechoic testing site in the world, but this was the facility's first test of a satellite in decades.
"It is a quiet enough chamber that protects aircraft and other GPS users outside of the facility," NTS-3 program manager Ariel Biersgreen said in the same statement."We needed to have a shielded area large enough to keep the energy of the testing inside the facility. Across the board, the BAF fit the bill in a way no other facility in the United States really could."
"Whether it be airline schedules, takeoffs and landings at airports or military operations, NTS-3 is taking this a step further, because we are doing a demonstration of advanced signals and signal flexibility," added NTS-3 chief engineer Thomas Roberts."Our ability to get that job done is dependent on the success of this testing facility."
