Force Element Terminal

Abstract

The Force Element Terminal (FET) program provides secure, protected, and survivable communications for the strategic and tactical warfighter through airborne-based MILSATCOM terminals. The FET will provide the B-52 and RC-135 aircraft with worldwide nuclear and non-nuclear survivable, anti-jam, Low Probability of Detect (LPD)/Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) data and voice communications. The FET will be interoperable with Milstar, AEHF, Enhanced Polar Systems - Recapitalization (EPS-R), and Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) Satellite constellations utilizing both Low Data Rate (LDR) and Extended Data Rate (XDR) waveforms. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver FAB-T FET weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
