Global Aircrew Strategic Network Terminal
Abstract
Global Aircrew Strategic Network Terminal (Global ASNT) replaces inadequate, unsustainable strategic communications equipment at bomber, tanker and reconnaissance Wing Command Posts (WCPs), Nuclear Task Forces, Munitions Support Squadrons (MUNSS), and for Mobile Support Teams (MSTs). Global ASNT is a ground-based system that will provide survivable, secure communication paths to receive Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) and Force Management messages from NC2 nodes and disseminate them to bomber, tanker, and reconnaissance aircrews. Global ASNT will be fielded in separate capability increments; Increment 1 fields required EHF/AEHF capabilities and replaces inadequate, unsustainable strategic mobile and fixed-site Single Channel Anti-jam Man-Portable (SCAMP) terminals. Subsequent increments will deliver: an Aircrew Alerting System (AAS) consisting of pagers and klaxons; High Frequency (HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) capabilities; and a Very Low Frequency (VLF)/Low Frequency (LF) receive capability. Global ASNT will provide solutions to existing capability shortfalls for NC2 and is the last line of operational communications when all other peacetime links fail. This program is in Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development, because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal years.
