May 26, 2006 gps navigation, misc news
Lockheed Martin and EADS Astrium have signed an agreement to guarantee the interoperability of their respective Global Positioning System satellites.
The pact announced Thursday covers EADS’ Galileo program and Lockheed’s GPS III system, both of which will be mainstays of increasingly ubiquitous GPS devices.
“This opens a new dimension of cooperation … that will benefit consumers for decades as the Galileo and GPS III systems come on line,” observed EADS Vice President Reinhold Lutz.
The two companies will work together on systems engineering and other technical projects involving interoperability and optimization, a joint news release said. Some reciprocal bidding will take place for operational equipment and software.
