Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW) and Ka-Band Satellite Communications (Ka-SATCOM)

Abstract

PTW connects tactical users operating in contested and semi contested environments with SATCOM to enable the exchange of tactical information (i.e., threat warnings, time sensitive tracks, mission updates). PTW modems are the only solution for airborne protected, anti-jam tactical SATCOM. This development effort focuses on integrating a COTS SATCOM (Ka-SATCOM) system into the BACN aircraft/payload and additionally integrates a PTW modem, enabling a robust anti-jamming (AJ) system. Provides resilient, AJ SATCOM in contested and semi contested environments for tactical users. Support interoperability among U.S., NATO & Coalition/International Partners.
