Global Aircrew Strategic Network Terminal
Abstract
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 NC3 nodes and disseminate them to bomber, tanker, and reconnaissance aircrews. Global ASNT is being fielded in separate capability increments. Increment 1 fields required Extremely High Frequency/Advanced Extremely High Frequency (EHF/AEHF) capabilities and replaces inadequate, unsustainable strategic mobile and fixed-site Single Channel Anti-jam Man-Portable (SCAMP) terminals. Increment 2 delivers an Aircrew Alerting System (AAS) consisting of pagers and klaxons, and High Frequency (HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) capabilities. Increment 2 replaces Electromagnetic Pulse Hardened Dispersal Communication (EHDC) systems and Aircrew Alerting Communications Electromagnetic Pulse (AACE) systems. Increment 3 is planned to deliver a Very Low Frequency (VLF)/Low Frequency (LF) receive capability. Global ASNT will provide solutions to existing capability shortfalls for NC3 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.
