Satellite Communications (Space)
Abstract
The Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) Program is the required Navy component to the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Program for enhancing protected and survivable satellite communications to Naval forces. The NMT system provides an increase in single service capability from 1.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) to 8 Mbps, increases the number of coverage areas and retains Anti-Jam/Low Probability of Intercept (AJ/LPI) protection characteristics. It is compatible with today's Navy Low Data Rate/Medium Data Rate (LDR/MDR) terminals and will sustain the Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) architecture by providing connectivity across the spectrum of mission areas, to include land, air and naval warfare, special operations, strategic nuclear operations, strategic defense, theater missile defense, and space operations and intelligence. The NMT system will replenish and improve on Navy terminal capabilities of the Military Strategic, Tactical & Relay System (MILSTAR), Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS), Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) and Global Broadcast System (GBS). The new system will equip the warfighters with the assured, jam resistant, secure communications as described in the joint AEHF Satellite Communications System and WGS Operational Requirements Documents (ORD). The NMT will provide multiband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) capability for ship, submarine, and shore platforms. The Joint Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Network Integrated Control System (JMINI CS) is a legacy system that commenced in 1998. JMINI CS is a Navy-led, Joint-interest program providing integrated, dynamic, and centralized control of non-processed UHF MILSATCOM 5/25 kHz Demand Assigned Multiple Access (DAMA) and Demand Assigned Single Access (DASA) channels to maximize existing highly sought after SATCOM resources. The system also provides decentralized web-based management of those resources for use as a situational awareness tool for Combatant Commanders, Global SATCOM Support Centers, and Regional SATCOM Support Centers. The system is expected to operate well beyond the original 2015 End of Life (EoL) date to 2033. The JMINI CS Program will perform concept development and exploration to identify cost-effective solutions to address multiple life cycle support issues, in order to minimize loss of service to the fleet. The effort will involve evaluation, development, laboratory and integration testing of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government off-the-shelf (GOTS) hardware and software to replace obsolete components or subsystems while maintaining interoperability with existing systems. The Sensitive Compartmented Information Networks (SCI Networks) provides enabling technology for Intelligence, Cryptologic, and Information Warfare Systems with protected and reliable delivery of Special Intelligence (SI)/SCI data through a secure, controllable network interface with the Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) architecture. This network connectivity allows cryptologic and intelligence personnel to fully interact with shore based nodes to provide support to their commanders, including situational awareness, indications and warning (I&W), enemy force intentions, intelligence preparation for the Battlefield, and Battle Damage Assessment (BDA). Maritime Integrated Broadcast Service (MIBS) (formerly Tactical Data Information Exchange Subsystem Broadcast (TADIXS-B)) Program Charter is to deliver Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) data to operational and tactical decision makers aboard United States Navy ships, shore headquarters, and other joint platforms. It will provide means to disseminate organically derived data from Navy platforms to other tactical, operational, and strategic users in theatre. MIBS provides the Navy a capability to deliver near real time data, enhancing the Common Operational Picture (COP), to support operations in all warfare areas, including: Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASW), Undersea Warfare (USW), Electronic Warfare (EW). The program encompasses Navy IBS systems (Joint Tactical Terminal - Maritime (JTT-M)). These systems will provide the Navy and other joint platforms with a coherent approach to fielding maritime IBS systems that takes advantage of all available pathways and services. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6): Manage and resource/coordinate resourcing of experiments and pilot testing of IPv6 technologies to reduce acquisition and operational risk associated with the IPv6 Transition. Experiments identified are in direct support of and identified in the Navy Technical Transition Strategy for IPv6. The Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) program provides for the development of the next generation Department of Defense (DoD) advanced narrowband communications satellite constellation. The current Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Follow-On (UFO) constellation is projected to degrade below acceptable availability parameters in 2014. This MUOS Research Development Test & Evaluation, Navy (RDT&E,N) effort supports Full Operational Capability (FOC) in FY 2017. FY14: Complete On-Orbit testing phase for Satellite 2, conduct End to End (E2E) Risk Reduction testing, conduct Technical Evaluation 2 (TECHEVAL 2), perform Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR), initiate and complete the Multiservice Operational Test and Evaluation #2 (MOT&E) effort. Provide fixes to ground software resulting from system testing, and Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts. Implement ECPs requiring Ground software changes. Complete the accreditation effort to obtain the initial Interim Authority to Operate (IATO) for Niscemi. Continue fixing Information Assurance (IA) vulnerabilities identified during the Information Assurance Control & Validation (IACV) effort for Geraldton, Wahiawa, and Northwest. Conduct new IACVs at all sites to obtain IATO extensions.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Schedule: EHF SATCOM Terminals (project 0728) Reflects adjustments to ATIP Development and Integration; A2AD Development and associated test events; FRP DR and FOC milestone dates; Airborne XDR FOT&E; PY7 procurements and deliveries; and satellite launches. Mobile User Objective System (project 2472) MUOS schedule reflects adjustments to Launch date for satellite #5; test events (including End-to-End integration and test), and Full Operating Capability (FOC). The schedule also removes references to On-Orbit Capability (OOC) per Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) approved in July 2012. Technical: No significant technical changes.
