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. FY15: Conduct follow-on Information Assurance Control & Validation (IACV) at each ground site to obtain IATO extensions. Continue Information Assurance (IA) vulnerability fixes identified during the IACVs at all sites. Continue research for emerging IA issues, maintain security accreditations, regression test (acceptance test) and implement mandated security changes to ensure system readiness/availability. Conduct terminal integration, testing, and certification of MUOS capable terminal hardware/software devices to ensure interoperability with the MUOS ground systems.
