Transformational SATCOM (TSAT)

Abstract

Fiscal constraints have led the Deparment of Defense to terminate the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT) program beginning FY10. The TSAT Mission Operations System (TMOS) and Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) contracts were terminated on 8 June and 9 June 2009, respectively. The two Space Segment Risk Reduction and System Definition (RRSD) contracts expired on 7 July 2009. Funds are in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes, since it funds TSAT technology development and engineering design activities including risk reduction and system definition.
