It hasn't seen light of day. There is a cobbled together low Res service which gives no difference service to the other gps services. Incomplete sat coverage.

More than half the sats are running with degraded systems. ie no redundancy of core systems.

The core system for the advanced Res is having to be manually run from the ground to prevent further failures.

the French are now the only mil user of any note, unless of course they start selling munitions to 3rd parties.
Light of day sort of ie if you have a receiver you can pick something up.

Fit for use and can deliver the unique service that it's meant to...... It's still in twilight zone never mind dawn and well away from day light.
