MILSATCOM System Engineering

Abstract

This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Cross Functional Team. MILSATCOM System Engineering assures the tactical Army satellite communications (SATCOM) and SATCOM On-the-Move (SOTM) systems are engineered to legally and efficiently operate worldwide. MILSATCOM System Engineering shapes Joint SATCOM systems' design efforts, standards development and planning processes. MILSATCOM System Engineering represents the Army's tactical interests within Department of Defense (DoD), Commercial and International forums to ensure affordable and scalable future SATCOM capabilities for maneuver forces. These efforts ensure that the Army continues to evaluate evolving technologies for the planning and designing of SATCOM solutions that reduce technical and programmatic impacts. MILSATCOM System Engineering also provides the technical and programmatic expertise to facilitate the Unified Network Capabilities and Integration (UNCI) integration mission of transport convergence and integration of N-CFT emerging solutions within the Tactical Network portfolio as part of future Capability Sets. These emerging solutions include Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) capabilities and are synchronized with Space Force DoD's plans for Protected Tactical Waveforms (PTW) on Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS), the Protected Tactical Satellite (PTS), and commercial SATCOM systems. MILSATCOM SE provides the programmatic and technical expertise to coordinate the UNCI mission to align and integrate elements of the Tactical Network portfolio in support of the Expeditionary Signal Battalion (ESB) and the Multi Domain Task Force (MDTF). FY 2023 funding supports the systems engineering required to support technology maturation, systems analysis, experimentation and planning associated with Joint SATCOM development efforts. This line continues to fund the systems architecture and analysis for current and future SATCOM efforts in both wideband and protected satellite communications.
