PTS Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) Phase
Abstract
This is not a New Start but continues follow-on EMD Phase activities associated with providing full PTS on-orbit capability previously included in the PTS RP Design and Development Major Thrust. Includes EMD Phase acquisition planning to develop, build, test, and evaluate the next iteration of the PTS EMD Phase Payloads to support hosted or free-flyer configurations. Includes efforts to develop the Space, Ground, and Gateway Segments, as well as the Space Hub ECU. Initiate EMD phase of PTS space, ground, and gateway segments and key system components. Develop, build, test, and evaluate next PTS payloads to support hosted or free-flyer configurations available for launch in FY 2028 and FY 2029. Includes payload and bus control development/upgrades at the operating centers. Deliver Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for protected communications against threats in FY 2030 with operational payloads. Continue to mature PTS concept of operations with user participation.
