COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Braxton Technologies today announced significant achievements as a member of the Raytheon Team working the ongoing 18-month, $160 million Global Positioning System (GPS) Operational Control Segment (OCX) program administered by the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif.

During testing that started October 25, 2008, Braxton and the Raytheon Team validated the ability to monitor and control the GPS Ground Antenna (GA), command and process telemetry through the GA, and interface with the GPS monitoring station. The Raytheon Team also validated Braxton's high-fidelity simulator, AceSIM.

"Braxton and the Raytheon Team have taken a decisive step in implementing OCX," commented Dutch Heuzen, Braxton GPS OCX Program Manager. "We are pleased with this accomplishment and appreciative of the professionalism and teamwork of the Raytheon OCX Team."
