PTES Prototype Ground and Software Development
Abstract
This Major Thrust, previously titled "PTES Prototype Development", has been segregated into another Major Thrust and new Project in FY 2024 to differentiate efforts between the PTES development contractor and the PTW Over Commercial effort. Develop and field the ground system for enabling capabilities of adaptive, AJ, wideband SATCOM under the PATS effort. Utilize Agile software development to deliver a system consisting of three PTES segments: MMS, KMS and JHs, to include ECUs, integrated into existing SATCOM Gateways to enable the PTW AJ communications capability via transponded WGS satellites for tactical users currently unable to operate through interference. Support the build, test, and installation of hardware required to prototype a tactical, AJ communications capability demonstrated in an operationally relevant environment and to operate the system at IOC and FOC. Efforts include performing and assisting the PTES team in system integration and conducting contractor- led factory tests, including risk reduction and end-to-end tests of the complete PTES prototype.
