PTES System Development Baseline, Integration, and Test
Abstract
This is not a New Start as this activity was previously included in the PTES Prototype Development Major Thrust. The PTES team will support integration of all PTES segments, including government-led end-to end tests of the complete PTES system. Lead key Development Test/Operational Test (DT/OT), conducted by the 45th Test Squadron (TS) and STAR Delta 12 / 4th Test and Evaluation Squadron, which will support two SATCOM gateways leading up to IOC in FY 2024. Manage the PTES technical baseline through acquiring, designing, testing, and integrating key system segments as well as external interfaces as part of the larger SATCOM enterprise. Witness PTES contractor-led tests and execute government-led testing continuing until FOC. Support the Joint Satellite Engineering Center (JSEC) and Joint Interoperability Command (JITC) to ensure risk-reduction is demonstrated, system interfaces are validated, and data needed to support cybersecurity system authorization and interoperability certifications will be obtained. Manage system capability development hand-in-hand with operator involvement to provide information for technical, integration, and programmatic decisions. The PTES team will execute additional studies and proof of concept demonstrations to inform commercial requirements, build out needed improvements to the MMS, and establish needed interoperability with commercial systems required to support Joint Force needs. Tobyhanna Army Depot is part of the PTES System Development Baseline, Integration and Test Major Thrust, and will be responsible for key loading and initialization of PTW capable modems.
