AEHF Strategic Comm

Abstract

The Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) system provides the only survivable, low probability of intercept/detection, high bandwidth system that ensures secure intra/inter-flight and two-way command and control communications in the modern anti-access/aerial denial battlespace. This communications upgrade replaces the Milstar/Ultra High Frequency (UHF) SATCOM system (which is nearing system end of life) on the B-2. The strategic communications effort will select, install, and integrate the radio, antenna and system components required to provide two-way EHF communication for the B-2. Funds may be used to resolve emerging safety of flight and diminishing manufacturing sources issues, accommodate technology insertion and fulfill FAA or other mandates necessary to ensure continued aircrew safety and mission effectiveness.
