Satellite Broadcast Management Transition
Abstract
Global Broadcast Service provides DoD with an efficient, high data rate broadcast provided by distributed information sources to dispersed warfighters who receive the broadcast directly on small, inexpensive user terminals. GBS broadcast data includes video (especially from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), imagery, logistics, weather data, maps and operational orders. The GBS space segment includes transponders on operational Navy satellites, currently UFO 8 and UFO 10, augmention by commercial leased Ku-band transponders, and now the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) System. Currently, the GBS broadcast segment consists of Satellite Broadcast Managers (SBMs) for the broadcast build and Primary Injection Points (PIPs) for the broadcast uplink, and the Transportable Satellite Broadcast Managers (TSBMs) for the broadcast build in theatre. The SBMs and PIPs, together known as Transmit Suites, are located at Navy facilities. The Theatre Injection Point (TIP) is a ground mobile satellite terminal suite transportable via two heavy High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) consisting of the TSBM and the Army Phoenix terminal. During FY09-11, to address commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) obsolescence issues, the broadcast creation will transition to existing Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Enterprise Computing Centers (DECCs) and the broadcast will be uplinked through DISA Teleport sites. The FY08 contract award for DECC transition has been delayed to FY09 due to an acquistion strategy change to conduct a full and open competition. FY10 continues to fund systems transmission security, information assurance, transition/upgrade of the SBM systems to the DISA DECC architecture, and continued analysis of alternatives for ORD III requirements.
