Evolved AEHF MILSATCOM (EAM)

Abstract

This project funds the MILSATCOM Space Modernization Initiative (SMI) and Protected Satellite Communications Services (PSCS) efforts. The SMI and PSCS strategy is to evolve current and future Protected MILSATCOM systems and develop a more affordable and resilient MILSATCOM enterprise that will be capable of meeting near term and emerging MILSATCOM requirements. The SMI strategy is to continue to invest in developing the Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) technologies, mature the Protected Tactical testbed, demonstrate resilient and affordable wideband protected technologies that will evolve current and future protected MILSATCOM systems and leverage commercial technologies that are capable of meeting MILSATCOM requirements. Other SMI efforts include reducing parts/obsolescence risk to future AEHF space vehicles, explore viable self protection technologies such as Space Situational Awareness sensors, expand the commercial transponder coverage and evaluate other potential technologies that are capable of meeting current and future SATCOM operations.
