Minuteman MEECN Program Upgrade (MMPU)
Abstract
This project upgrades existing Minuteman ICBM Launch Control Center (LCC) Extremely High Frequency (EHF) communications to provide a capability for Missile Combat Crew Members to have operator control in the Launch Control Center of the terminal to switch among various EHF/AEHF satellite constellations. This upgrade will be compatible with Advanced EHF (AEHF) satellite and the supporting key management infrastructure (crypto interoperability). AEHF is an Extended Data Rate (XDR) waveform that provides more secure transmit/receive at frequencies above 20 GHz. The AEHF terminal will provide both receive and report-back capability. The terminal operator control modification will allow missile combat crews to transition between MILSTAR, UFO/E, UFO/EE and AEHF satellite constallations without dispatch of a maintenance team. These modifications comply with USSTRATCOM requirement for MMP terminals to communicate at higher data rates. This program is in Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development, because it supports work on fielded operating weapon systems.
