Protected Tactical SATCOM - Global (PTS-G)
Abstract
PTS-G will consist of multiple satellites that can provide either x-band or mil-ka band transponded capability, and ground infrastructure (system controller/hub with gateways), and will connect to existing Protected Anti-jam Tactical SATCOM (PATS) ground infrastructure (mission management system and cryptographic key management system) developed under the Protected Tactical Enterprise Service (PTES) program pending any additional ground hardware and software updates that PTS-G will have to procure and still to modify the PTES baseline. PTS-G will use PTW-capable user modems but may also support transponded communications with other modems. PTW modems for user terminals will be acquired by each Service and by international partners.
