Architecture Evolution Plan (AEP) M-Code Monitoring

Abstract

The MCEU program initiative covers the development costs associated with updating the legacy control segment software, AEP, with additional capabilities needed to provide M-Code operations. MCEU provides the Combined Space Operations Center with command and control, processing, and integrity monitoring for the M-Code signal. The development also includes the integration of modernized Monitor Station Technology Improvement Capability (MSTIC) receivers, which are being procured separately using Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funding as a Form- Fit- Functional replacement for the legacy Monitor Station Receiver Element Y-Code receivers. MCEU adds a software upgrade to MSTIC receivers to allow it to process M-Code signals. Prime contract was awarded to start software development and test activities; includes insertion of Legacy Hot Start, Demilitarized Zone, and Receiver Protection Profile requirements into the MCEU baseline.
