Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT)
Abstract
The details of Program Element 0604280N, Project 0728 for NMT are classified SECRET//NOFORN and are submitted to Congress in the classified budget justification books. Navy Global Broadcast System (GBS) is a member of the larger Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I)program, providing high speed (up to 45 Mbps per transponder)/large volume information/data delivery to forces afloat, ashore, and Naval Special Warfare Command. Leveraging the NMT antenna, GBS provides a one-way broadcast to Naval maritime forces 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 RC3. GBS Transmission Security (TRANSEC) is an operational requirement from the Joint GBS ORD and provides robust datalink protection of both uplink and downlink for the GBS broadcast. GBS is evaluating Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) solutions to meet the TRANSEC mandate. The Air Force & Army Anti-Jam Modem (A3M) and the WAMS are PTW solutions that are under consideration. Navy GBS will require extensive development activities for the new PTW modem solution and must conduct a Follow-On Test & Evaluation (FOT&E) with Joint Services. Overall program efforts include technology insertion studies required to support satellite communications. Technology Insertion, studies and implementation is necessary for military satellite communications systems development to support emerging technologies for Satellite Communications (SATCOM) programs. The FY23 request for GBS will continue GBS Transmission Security (TRANSEC) development to provide robust datalink protection of both uplink and downlink for the GBS broadcast. The FY23 request also includes procurement of test modems for surface IA&T events and beginning of submarine TRANSEC development and integration.
