Evolved AEHF MILSATCOM (EAM)

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 architecture. In addition, SMI begins acquisition capabilities supporting concept definitions and demos for protected tactical communication services, anti-jam enhanced theater antennas, and increased wideband coverage and capacity. FY14 funds efforts such as SV-6 flight crypto redevelopment, parts obsolescence mitigation studies for future AEHFs, AEHF capacity improvement development, and risk reduction on MILSATCOM technologies. Additionally, FY14 funds Systems Engineering and Program Management to include Program Office Support such as Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) analyses, Systems Engineering Technical Assistance (SETA) and Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) to support risk reduction on MILSATCOM technologies.
