Protected Tactical Satellite Communications
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Cross Functional Team. Protected Anti-jam Tactical SATCOM (Protected SATCOM) fills a critical communications gap for Anti-jam SATCOM capability for mobile ground forces conducting expeditionary operations in electronically contested environments. It provides the ability for the Army tactical terminals to be resilient in a contested environment and protect against catastrophic loss of situational awareness and command and control during critical battle movement with Anti-jam capabilities. Air Force/Army Anti-Jam Modem (A3M) will offer tactical Army protection against interference that is either intentional or unintentional. These DoD Joint efforts are synchronized with United States Space Force (USSF) and Army for execution of Protected Tactical Waveforms (PTW) on Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS), Protected Tactical Satellites (PTS), and commercial SATCOM systems. Protected Anti-jam Tactical SATCOM is a continuation of efforts previously funded under the MILSATCOM System Engineering 0303142A/456 line. Funds transferred in FY23 from project 456 to project C07 under the same program element 0303142A to fund continuing Protected Anti-jam Tactical SATCOM and Protected Tactical Waveforms (PTW) efforts. Protected Tactical Anti-jam SATCOM supported initial development, testing and certification of production representative PTW modems, incorporating Army specific requirements, to support continued spiral development of critical protected communications capabilities to address resiliency in jamming environments. The Protected/Resilient SATCOM Abbreviated - Capabilities Development Document was validated and approved in June 2021. FY23 funding in the amount of $7.569M will support Protected SATCOM modem development, test and evaluation, system engineering, program management, and development of training materials and data rights.
