Evolved AEHF MILSATCOM
Abstract
This project funds a MILSATCOM Space Modernization Initiative, (SMI), formerly the Capability and Affordability Insertion Program (CAIP), which includes engineering activities that assess promising new components and systems to confirm their suitability (capable, affordable, and producible) for the MILSATCOM mission across the payload, terminal and network segments. SMI pursues evolutionary or alternative MILSATCOM technologies and concepts to reduce obsolescence risks and improve affordability, resiliency, and responsiveness of replenishment programs, and identifies relevant commercial opportunities for potential hosted payload developments to demonstrate proof of concept for operations and future distributed architecture. In addition, SMI begins rapid acquisition capabilities supporting concept definitions and demos for small protected tactical hosted payloads or commercial-based free-flyer satellites, anti-jam enhanced theater antennas, and increased military Ka-band coverage and capacity. The FY13 funds efforts such as parts obsolescence studies and redesign, crypto repackaging and risk reduction on MILSATCOM technologies. Additionally, FY13 funds System Engineering and Program Management to include Program Office support such as Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) analyses, System Engineering Technical Assistance (SETA) and Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) to support Protected Broad Agency Announcements, Resilient Basis Study efforts, Remotely Piloted Aircraft concept definition, radiation-hardened parts productizaton and qualification, protected MILSATCOM Test Bed development, and affordable Information Assurance approach efforts.
