Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T)

Abstract

The Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T) program replaces legacy Milstar terminals and will provide Extremely High Frequency (EHF), protected high data rate communication for nuclear and conventional forces to include Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC). FAB-T will provide this new, highly secure, state-of-the-art capability for DoD platforms to include strategic platforms and airborne/ground command posts via Milstar, AEHF, and Enhanced Polar System (EPS) satellites. FAB-T terminals will also support the critical command and control (C2) of the Milstar, AEHF and EPS satellite constellations. In FY16, the Air Force continued development of the FAB-T terminal, performing systems engineering, architectures, continuation of developmental test efforts for preparation of Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) & other activities to meet current & future emerging SATCOM requirements.
