(U)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 Navy GBS Program is the Navy component of the Joint Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) ACAT IC program that delivers the continuous flow of high-speed, high-volume communication and information flow for deploying, deployed, on the move, and garrisoned forces. The Joint GBS system supports the Navy Strategic Plan and equips warfighters with Resilient Command and Control (RC2) communications. The Enterprise SATCOM Gateway Modem (ESGM) is the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer directed solution to satisfy the Transmission Security (TRANSEC) requirement in place of the Joint Internet. Testing and fielding of the ESGM is a joint venture, operationally directed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the United States Air Force (USAF) as the lead service. GBS augments and interfaces with other communications systems, provides relief to overburdened communications systems already in place, and provides information to previously unsupported users. GBS provides bandwidth five times any other system, up to 45 Mbps of forward link data (shore to ship) per WGS satellite transponder. The Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) program provides for the development of the next generation Department of Defense (DoD) advanced narrowband communications satellite constellation. MUOS is the only Ultra High Frequency (UHF) satellite system replacing the aging UHF Follow-on (UFO) system, which is currently beyond its design life. MUOS provides legacy UHF satellite communications as well as a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) capability which significantly increases performance and capacity critical to support Combatant Command priorities.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) Program (Project 0728) has been realigned from PE 1203109N to PE 0303109N (U)SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS (SPACE) starting in FY20. The MUOS (Project 2472) increase in FY20 funds End to End (E2E) MUOS usability enhancements. This is offset by reduction of $1.691M to account for the availability of prior year balances. The Congressional Add in FY18 provides $5M (Project 0728) for the development, test and evaluation of enhanced capabilities for the Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) by furthering Science & Technology (S&T) research and transition activities associated with resilient communications capabilities. Schedule: EHF SATCOM Terminals (Project 0728) - No change MUOS (Project 2472) Enterprise Agile Deployment (EAD) 8 slipped one quarter due to technical issues identified and corrected. Technical: EHF SATCOM Terminals (Project 0728): No change
