Polar Satellite Communications
Abstract
This program element acquires the Polar MILSATCOM system that provides protected communications (anti-jam and low probability of intercept and detection) for users in the North Polar Region. In FY 2006, the DoD began funding EPS. The host spacecraft and the polar communications packages took advantage of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) technology including the eXtended Data Rate (XDR) waveform. The EPS Capability Development Document (CDD), approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council in September 2006, is based on a two-package, hosted XDR program with operational availability in CY 2015 and CY 2017. EPS is comprised of four segments: Payload, Ground Control, Gateway, and Terminal (acquired by each Service's Terminal Program Office). Milestone B review was completed 2 April 2014. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Polar MILSATCOM weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 1206392F and 1206398F.
