MILSATCOM System Engineering

Abstract

FE2: Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM)System Engineering (SE) assures that tactical Army Satellite Communications (SATCOM) and SATCOM On-The-Move (SOTM) systems are engineered to legally and efficiently operate worldwide. MILSATCOM SE shapes Joint SATCOM systems' design efforts, standards development and planning processes. MILSATCOM SE represents the Army's tactical interests within DoD, Commercial & International forums to ensure affordable and scalable future SATCOM capabilities for maneuver forces. These efforts, performed by MILSATCOM SE, lead to savings for the overall Army in the out years. FY 2019 funds support the continued systems engineering required to support technology maturation, systems analysis, and planning associated with joint SATCOM development efforts including complying with the outcome of the Protected SATCOM Communications Systems (PSCS) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA). In addition, FY 2019 funding covers the Protected Tactical Service Field Demo (PTSFD) Modem Testing, Narrowband Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), Protected Tactical Service Field Demo (PTSFD), Network Centric Waveform Tool (NCWT) Development and Testing, Network Centric Waveform - Resilient (NCW-R) engineering support and other efforts that have impact on tactical Army use of military and commercial satellite constellations. These efforts have a direct impact in reducing technical and programmatic risk for the acquisition efforts for tactical Army SATCOM systems using these constellations.
