I. Description of Operations Financed: The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) collects and disseminates global visible/infrared cloud imagery and other specialized meteorological, oceanographic and solar-geophysical data to support worldwide DoD operations and high priority national programs. DMSP is the sole source of high-resolution weather imagery supporting critical Air Force, Navy,
Army, and Marine Corps centralized and theater missions. DMSP consists of two fully operational satellites, in polar orbit, a command and control (C2) system (back-up ops center, mission planning, satellite engineering, and logistics facilities) ground based satellite data processing equipment, and field/ship based terminals deployed worldwide. Operation and Maintenance funds provide for: C2 segment hardware/software maintenance, maintenance of DMSP equipment at remote tracking stations, support and service contract for launch pad maintenance and launch preparation activities, support and services contract for satellite and sensor daily operations support (factory experts performing telemetry analysis/trending, troubleshooting, and anomaly resolution), independent verification, validation, and modification of C2 system software, and civilian pay for system operators.
The NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio navigation network that provides 24-hour navigation information to meet the needs of the US and allied military services worldwide. These services include: extremely accurate three-dimensional positioning, velocity and time; a worldwide common grid, passive all-weather operations; continuous real-time information; support to an unlimited number of users and areas and support to civilian users. The NAVSTAR satellites circle the globe every 12 hours, emitting continuous navigational signals.
The Delta II expendable launch vehicle is used to launch the current block of NAVSTAR GPS IIR satellites from Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station, FL into 11,000 mile circular orbits. O&M funding for the NAVSTAR GPS sustains the operational control segment and launch operations. These costs include maintenance, contractor logistics support, and funding for an interim backup mission control center. The new
GPS IIF Operational Control Segment (OCS) Single Prime Initiative (SPI) contract is now updating the ground control architecture to combine these tasks and reduce the complexity. Air Force Space Command is also building a fully functional Alternate Master Control Station (AMCS) at
Vandenberg AFB, CA, which will fulfill operational back up requirements currently fulfilled by the interim back up. The AMCS is also critical for transition to the new GPS Operational Control Segment and will serve as the Air Education Training Command Initial Qualification Training
Facility, which includes a high fidelity simulator trainer.

System satellites.

1) Realignment of Funds (FY 2001 Base $53,473) ...............................................
The FY 2001 Flying Hour Program reprice, based on the CY 2000 AFCAIG consumption factors, resulted in an overall shortfall which Air Force cash flowed from other Air Force Operation and Maintenance programs. After careful consideration of the alternatives, funds were realigned from this Sub Activity Group.
While we recognize the detrimental impact on this Sub Activity Group, this one-time realignment was necessary to ensure continued aircrew readiness and safety of flight, and will be restored in subsequent years.
