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 2017. FY13: Complete remaining testing and preparation efforts to support launch of satellite 2. The MUOS activities planned for the ground segment will include system software testing and fixes resulting from site testing; and ground security updates resulting from Information Assurance (IA) Vulnerability Alerts. Complete software installation, test, and certification of hardware/software at Niscemi site. Complete site acceptance testing, for Build 3 software (B3), at Wahiawa, Geraldton, Northwest, and Niscemi in preparation for launch of satellite 2. Complete acceptance testing of the MUOS follow-on waveform. Begin IA waveform assessment and remediation of findings.
