Mobile User Objective Sys (MUOS)

Abstract

The Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) program provides for the development of the next generation Department of Defense (DoD) advanced narrowband communications satellite constellation. The current Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Follow-On (UFO) constellation is projected to degrade below acceptable availability parameters in 2012. This MUOS Research Development Test & Evaluation, Navy (RDT&E,N) effort supports an On-Orbit Capability (OOC) in fiscal year (FY) 2012 and Full Operational Capability (FOC) in FY 2015. FY12: MUOS program will complete all remaining testing and preparation efforts to support launch for satellite 2. The MUOS activities planned for the Ground segment will include system software testing and fixes; and installation and testing of the ground site software.
