(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The U.S. Air Force late Sunday, said it is working to resolve a technical error that affects some Boeing Co Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, although it did not hurt the accuracy of GPS signals received by users around the world.

According to the Air Force Space Command, the glitch appeared to involve the ground-based software used to index, or sort some messages transmitted by GPS IIF satellites built by Boeing, but officials were still investigating other possible causes.

The Air Force said the issue came to light in recent days, but a close examination of archived data showed the problem had gone unnoticed since 2013. It gave no details of the extent of the problem, its impact on the overall system or how it had come to light.

The Air Force said it had put in place a temporary solution and officials were working on a permanent fix.
