Mobile User Objective System (MUOS)/Second Generation Anti-jam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO(SATURN)

Abstract

To enable the Next Gen Narrowband Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), providing worldwide Ultra High Frequency (UHF) secure communications to the F-15E Warfighters with enhanced features and connectivity options by adapting commercial third gen (3G) cellular phone system technology (utilizing geosynchronous satellites in place of cell towers) for military. The F-15C/D/E will receive the Second-Generation Anti-Jam Tactical Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Radio for NATO (SATURN) capability. SATURN is the next gen UHF EPM (Electronic Protective Measures) standard designated to succeed HAVE QUICK II and will be the new standard for NATO communications. MUOS/SATURN development funding ended in FY 2022. MUOS/SATURN integration and future development will continue under the Suite 9.2 Operational Flight Program (OFP) 9.2 effort, expecting to field in Nov 2023.
