BACN Software Upgrades

Abstract

BACN has a continuous need for software upgrades. Effort enhances BACN information processing and communications capabilities including but not limited to development and integration of Multi-User Objective System (MUOS), Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW), Low Earth Orbit SATCOM, Common Tactical Edge Network (CTEN) incorporation of software updates for new radios, and replacement of the Airborne Executive Processor (AEP). Funds for design, development, integration, testing and certification of modifications are required to incorporate these capabilities as well as meet cybersecurity certification requirements and resolve risk and identified software deficiencies across the BACN payload and ground support systems. These efforts are required to support emerging communications requirements in complex and secure military environments. This thrust is a roll-up of all software efforts. The major software effort service pack upgrade 3.3.3 completes in FY 2024. In FY2025, efforts will continue with systems engineering, design, development, and integration to support incorporation of AEP replacement, PTW, and other advanced communications waveforms and radio interfaces.
