Force Element Terminal
Abstract
The Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals Force Element Terminal (FAB-T FET) program replaces the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Milstar terminal and provides secure, protected, and survivable communications for the strategic warfighter through airborne-based Military Satellite Communication (MILSATCOM) terminals. The FAB-T FET will provide worldwide nuclear and non-nuclear, survivable, anti-jam Low Probability of Detect (LPD)/ Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) data and voice communications. The FAB-T FET will be interoperable with Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF), Enhanced Polar Systems - Recapitalization (EPS-R), and Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) satellite constellations utilizing Extended Data Rate (XDR) waveforms and will be installed on the B-52 aircraft. FAB-T FET was designated as a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) in February 2019. The total cost of the FAB-T FET Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $454.2 million. The program is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. FAB-T FET activities are expected to be designated as Major Capability Acquisition at Milestone C in FY2024.
