RADIO-CRYPTO
Abstract
The B-1B Radio Crypto Modernization and Compliance requirements originate from JROCM 040-11, VACM Cease Key CED-026-11, UHF SATCOM (Ultra-high frequency Satellite Communication) Decommission and Cease Key for Demand Assigned Multi Access (DAMA) Orderwire, HALF QUICK II Cease use date, and DoD CIO Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) transition directive. If the requirements/directives are not met, B-1B will lose its secure line of sight, beyond line of sight, and anti-jam communication with ground and air forces. The initiative will replace the existing ARC-210 (RT-1797 & RT-1851) with common ARC-210 next generation radios. Additionally, the program will provide MUOS capability. The Radio Crypto program has two increments. - Increment I addresses the NSA mandate by providing crypto compliant radios and second generation anti-jam Ultra High-Frequency radio for NATO (SATURN.) This increment will replace the two obsolete ARC-210 Gen 3/4 radios with modernized ARC-210 Gen 6 radios and associative aircraft wiring/software in order to support the new radios. - Increment 2 incorporates MUOS Satellite Communication capability that supports the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) directive to move all DoD assets to MUOS constellation (70% by FY26). This increment will lay in Ethernet cable required by MUOS Data (J-REAP C), install MUOS ancillaries (HPA/LNA), and additional software to execute MUOS capability on the aircraft.
