Boeing has been awarded a $16.2 million Air Force contract for satellite waveforms.

Under the Air Force Research Laboratory contract for the On-Orbit Reprogrammable Digital Waveform Generator program, Boeing will advance the state-of-the art in signal generation, such as the GPS and other commercial and noncommercial position navigation and timing efforts, according to the Department of Defense contract announcement.

The contract is scheduled to be completed by January 24, 2021.
