Evolved AEHF MILSATCOM (EAM)

Abstract

This project funds the MILSATCOM Space Modernization Initiative (SMI) strategy. The main focus of the SMI strategy is to achieve a more affordable and flexible Protected Communications enterprise that will be capable of meeting near-term and future protected MILSATCOM warfighting mission requirements. This enterprise will incorporate engineering and acquisition concepts that will achieve a more resilient protected communications payload(s), develop affordable terminals and define viable ground systems requirements.The SMI strategy will also invest in a variety of promising new technologies and engineering concepts that will evolve current and future MILSATCOM technologies. These efforts will include conducting an assortment of protected communication demonstrations, identifying practicable capabilities that will reduce parts and obsolescence risk to the AEHF constellation and explore reasonable acquisition approaches that will expand the commercial transponder coverage that is capable of meeting current and future wideband SATCOM demand.
