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 legacy 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 Resilient Command and Control (RC2) initiatives. The NMT system replenishes and improves 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 equips 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 Mobile AEHF Terminal (MAT) is the Navy's solution to provide key communications using the AEHF satellite constellation to support the Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO) Ground Communication mobile mission, while also meeting mobility, size and weight requirements. The NMT provides multiband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) capability for ship, submarine, and protected MILSATCOM for shore sites.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY20 funding request was reduced by $1.731M (Proj 0728) to account for the availability of prior year balances. The NMT (PROJECT 0728) FY20 increase awards the contract funding Navy specific development of the Wideband Anti-Jam Modem Systems (WAMS) to include the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Waveform and Network Operations Without Shore (NOWS). The FY20 NMT increase is $4.465M. The FY20 $12M increase is for NMT MAT Project due to complexity of requirements to develop a new terminal versus a replacement solution.
