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 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. FY17 funding includes $27.660M for the development effort to modernize the system to integrate common waveforms, provide for cryptographic modernization, leverage software defined capabilities based on the analysis of alternatives, and to procure intellectual property. This funding will also be used to perform various studies and analysis in support of the CSEL Enterprise.
