| House-Senate Conference | President | ||
This bill authorizes DoD spending levels but does not actually appropriate funds from the Treasury.
The House version (H.R. 5136) does not support the President's request of $40.9 million for the High-Integrity Global Positioning System (HIGPS, also known as iGPS), a demonstration of the capability to use Iridium satellites to enhance current GPS navigation and timing capabilities. View relevant report language. The Senate version (S. 3454) also recommends no funding for HIGPS. View relevant report language.
S. 3454 recommends a $10 million plus-up to GPS III to study the use of "mini-GPS" satellites that would increase the constellation to 30 satellites. The bill also recommends splitting the "GPS III Space Segment" line item into separate ones for GPS III and OCX, as Congress did last year. View relevant report language.
Finally, Section 912 of S. 3454 requires any military GPS user equipment purchased after FY 2017 to be capable of receiving the new M Code signal, except in the case of cars or where waived by the Secretary of Defense. View relevant report language.
