The NAVSTAR Global Positioning System program, which is being developed for precise worldwide navigation and position capability, has increased in cost from about $1.7 billion to $8.6 billion. This is due largely to estimates not previously included for replenishment satellites, launches, and user equipment. Extensive testing proved that NAVSTAR may provide accurate navigation and position information. However, its potential problems relating primarily to Soviet threat, satellite reliability, and launch capability could have serious cost, schedule, or performance implications.
