Protected Tactical Service Field Demonstration (PTSFD)
Abstract
PTSFD is a technology demonstration that will develop and demonstrate prototype Terminal Modem (TM) Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) utilizing PTW over wideband space/ground systems with an option to demonstrate over a commercial SATCOM system and design and build the MMS simulator. Develop PTW components, protected tactical terminal modems that will be capable of being fully integrated into existing wideband terminals, and a new End Cryptographic Unit (ECU) that will support the PTW. The ECUs will be integrated with the PTW modem and certified by NSA. The PTSFD will demonstrate an Anti-Jam (AJ) and Low Probability of Intercept (LPI)/Low Probability of Detection (LPD) communications capability that can be provided to tactical users in all Services through fielded terminals, existing wideband MILSATCOM assets, and potential COMSATCOM assets. Conduct trade space and requirements definition to support future PTW-related capabilities. Identify potential assets such as ground hubs and information assurance components that can be further developed by future PTW-related programs for wideband users and explore releasability of PTW-related technologies to International Partners.
