CSAR EMD

Abstract

The Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) System provides aircrews with end-to-end global satellite secure emergency communication capability during combat and peace-time flying operations. A hand held rescue radio is required as part of the mandatory aircrew survival gear. CSEL is the Joint Program of Record. CSEL supports four of five Personnel Recovery Mission Phases; Report, Locate, Support and Recover. A NSA Cryptographic Modernization mandate and the Ultra High Frequency Follow-On satellite constellation at end of life are both driving cost prohibitive upgrades to 54,876 hand held CSEL rescue radios and base station. FY16 funding is to conduct an abbreviated analysis of alternatives detailing the development required to integrate common waveforms, provide for cryptographic modernization, and leverage software defined capabilities. In FY16, Project 654522 CSAR EMD, includes new start efforts for CSEL Crypto.
