GPS Modernization Acceleration Act
To direct the President to accelerate the modernization of the Global Positioning System Enterprise, including the development and deployment of the Global Positioning System III generation satellites, a more secure and capable control system, and the broadcast of new signals, such as L1C and L5 to enhance the resilience and security of the Global Positioning System, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to speed up the modernization of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to make it more secure and reliable. It asks the President to focus on developing and launching new GPS satellites, improving the system that controls these satellites, and adding new signals to make the system more resilient. This would benefit many areas, including navigation, military operations, and public safety.
The bill would mainly affect the President, the Department of Defense, and any businesses or organizations that rely on GPS technology. By making the system more advanced, it would provide better services and security for everyone who uses GPS, from everyday drivers to critical government operations.
As of July 22, 2026, the bill has just been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The committees will now review the bill and decide the next steps for its progress.
