Advanced MILSATCOM
Abstract
Develop and acquire Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) satellites, mission control segment and cryptography for survivable, anti-jam, worldwide, secure communications for the strategic and tactical warfighters. AEHF satellites will replenish the existing EHF system (Milstar) providing much higher capacity and data rate (5x increase over Milstar II) capabilities. AEHF is a cooperative program that includes International Partners (Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands). Space Vehicle-1 (SV-1) launched on 14 August 2010. SV-1 experienced a propulsion anomaly and was raised to its geostationary orbit using alternative orbit raising techniques. SV-1 reached its on-orbit checkout location on 24 October 2011. SV-2 has an April 2012 launch availability. The FY13 request funds efforts such as SV-2 on-orbit test & operations support, incremental Mission Control Segment (MCS) development/sustainment including ground mobile command and control, test/fielding and support, and studies/analyses as required. Also, the FY13 request funds Interim Contractor Support (ICS). As SV-1-2 complete on-orbit test and incrementally developed MCS becomes operational, ICS sustains the AEHF system until Initial Operational Capability (IOC) declaration, projected lated FY14. Additionally, the FY13 request funds preliminary design for the transition of the AEHF Key Management Architecture from the Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) to the Key Management Infrastructure (KMI). The EKMS and KMI are cryptography key management systems that enable transmission and communications security for the Protected SATCOM enterprise.
