Protected Tactical Satellite Communications
Abstract
Project CO7, Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Priority and supports the Army of 2030 and 2040 initiatives. Protected Anti-Jam Tactical SATCOM (Protected SATCOM) 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. The Resilient Anti-Jam Modem (RAM) (previously referred to as Block II Small Form Factor (SFF)) will provide on the move and early entry satellite terminals with adaptive, anti-jam communications for the highest levels of protected communications in multi domain operations. Air Force/Army Anti-Jam Modem (A3M) offers tactical Army protection against interference that is either intentional or unintentional. A3M is a Joint Effort between the Army and US Space Force (USSF). RAM is an Army only requirement as USSF doesn't have a requirement for RAM. Protected SATCOM supports initial development, testing and certification of production representative Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) modems, incorporating Army 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 (A-CDD) was validated and approved in June 2021. FY 2025 funding in the amount of $20.080 million will support development of Army RAM, contactor and government system engineering and program management (SEPM), test and certification, logistics support and data development and other associated activities as required.
