Evolved AEHF MILSATCOM

Abstract

This project funds a MILSATCOM Space Modernization Initiative (SMI) 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 is a near-term investment plan to invest in more affordable alternatives to evolve current MILSATCOM technologies, concepts, and capabilities 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 architectures. In addition, SMI begins acquisition capabilities supporting concept definitions and demos for protected tactical communications services, anti-jam enhanced theater antennas, and increased military wideband coverage and capacity. In FY14, due to a change in Budget Activity from 4 to 5, funds transfer to PE 0605431F, Project 657104.
