WIDEBAND GLOBAL SATCOM (SPACE)

Abstract

The Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Command and Control System-Consolidated (CCS-C) system provides integrated launch and on-orbit command and control (C2) functionality, and backup operations at Schriever AFB and Vandenberg AFB, for MILSATCOM satellites as the legacy capability provided by the Air Force Satellite Control Network (PE 0305110F) has phased out according to plan. CCS-C uses modified commercial off the shelf hardware/software to control all emerging and legacy MILSATCOM systems including Milstar, Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS), Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) and Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellites. The CCS-C project 657102 funds system architecture evolution to provide increased performance for additional satellites; to comply with DoD, Air Force, and AFSPC-directed standards for Information Assurance, Satellite Control Standardization, and Net-Readiness; and to add Space Situational Awareness and new C2 training systems capabilities. The WGS and AEHF procurement program elements fund the mission unique software and databases for the WGS Block II Follow-On satellites and the AEHF 4-6 satellites, respectively. FY14 funds completion of architecture evolution studies, addition of new cross-domain capability, enhancement of Information Assurance posture, integration and tests of upgraded ground based cryptologic equipment, and initiation of architecture changes to increase WGS capacity and reduce system downtime. BA-5 - This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
