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 in support of A2AD initiatives. 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 Service (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 protected MILSATCOM for shore sites. 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 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 relies on the MUOS legacy payload to meet the UHF SATCOM requirement. This MUOS Research Development Test & Evaluation, Navy (RDT&E,N) effort supports Full Operational Capability (FOC) in FY 2020. The Navy Global Broadcast Service (GBS) Program is the Navy component of the Joint Military Satellite Communications(MILSATCOM) ACAT IC program that delivers the continuous flow of high-speed, high-volume communication and information flow for deploying, deployed, on the move, and garrisoned forces. The Joint GBS system supports the Navy Strategic Plan and equips warfighters with counter Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) communications in a denied Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) environment. The Enterprise SATCOM Gateway Modem (ESGM) is the DoD Chief Information Officer directed solution to satisfy the Transmission Security (TRANSEC) requirement in place of the Joint Internet. Testing and fielding of the ESGM is a joint venture, operationally directed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Air Force as the lead service. GBS augments and interfaces with other communications systems, provides relief to overburdened communications systems already in place, and provides information to previously unsupported users. GBS provides bandwidth five times any other system, up to 45 Mbps of forward link data (shore to ship) per WGS satellite transponder. Beginning in FY18, the Satellite Communications (Space) funding profiles have moved from PE 0303109N to PE 1203109N.
