Evolved MILSATCOM

Abstract

This program element funds technology demonstration, development and study efforts for future Satellite Communications (SATCOM) capability enhancements. These capabilities could be utilized on future blocks of current SATCOM systems, hosted SATCOM payloads, or next-generation SATCOM systems. The goal of the effort is to sufficiently mature new technologies, system architectures, and business concepts to reduce overall risk of future SATCOM efforts and improve space/ground/terminal synchronization. FY10 funded efforts such as: preparation and approval of the Joint Space Communications Layer Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), conducting the Materiel Solutions Analysis (MSA), development of the technologies, architectures, and business concepts for SATCOM including modification of current protected and wideband MILSATCOM systems and potential for incorporating new military-unique and/or commercial capabilities. No funds are requested in FY12.
