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 2014. This MUOS Research Development Test & Evaluation, Navy (RDT&E,N) effort supports Full Operational Capability (FOC) in FY 2017. FY14: Complete On-Orbit testing phase for Satellite 2, conduct End to End (E2E) Risk Reduction testing, conduct Technical Evaluation 2 (TECHEVAL 2), perform Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR), initiate and complete the Multiservice Operational Test and Evaluation #2 (MOT&E) effort. Provide fixes to ground software resulting from system testing, and Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts. Implement ECPs requiring Ground software changes. Complete the accreditation effort to obtain the initial Interim Authority to Operate (IATO) for Niscemi. Continue fixing Information Assurance (IA) vulnerabilities identified during the Information Assurance Control & Validation (IACV) effort for Geraldton, Wahiawa, and Northwest. Conduct new IACVs at all sites to obtain IATO extensions.
