MILSATCOM SYSTEM ENGINEERING

Abstract

MILSATCOM System Engineering provides centralized funding for US Army participation in the joint development of MILSATCOM programs. This includes engineering, technical and Cost As An Independent Variable (CAIV) related analyses supporting architecture, payloads, network and terminal requirement and design decisions across all MILSATCOM programs MILSATCOM System Engineering also supports experimentation and/or development of new and emerging SATCOM related technologies and standards. This includes prototyping efforts to address technology gaps identified by US Army Program of Records (POR) in the US Army Technology Transition Matrix. Transportable Tactical Command Communications (T2C2) Development: T2C2 is a family of transportable satellite communications terminals intended to provide small company-sized early entry units robust voice and data communications capabilities in the early phases of joint operations using commercial and military satellite communications. Funding supports preparation for a Material Development Decision and initiation of an Analysis of Alternatives in FY 2013. FY 2013 funds suppport efforts in the area of both Wideband/Commerical and Protected Communications related efforts.
