Radio Crypto Compliance
Abstract
The B-1B Radio Crypto Compliance requirements, P-3A 92316, originate from JROCM 040-11, VACM Cease Key CED-026-11, UHF SATCOM (Ultra-high frequency Satellite Communication ) Decommission and Cease Key for DAMA (Demand Assigned Multi Access) Orderwire, HALF QUICK II Cease use date, and DoD CIO MUOS transition directive. If the requirements/directives are not met, B-1B will lose it's secure line of sight, beyond line of sight, and Anti-Jam communication with ground and air forces. The initiative will replace the existing ARC-210 RT-1797 and ARC-210 RT-1851 with common ARC-210 next generation radios. Additionally, the program will provide Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) capability. This modification includes procurements of 41 aircraft kits + 4 EMD kits that will be installed in conjunction with organic/intermediate maintenance. The Radio Crypto program ensures the B-1B meets mandatory National Security Agency (NSA) and DoD mandates and directives as soon as possible with the minimum amount of hardware installs. The minimal evasive task will use current aircraft infrastructure to the greatest extent possible by only replacing the two obsolete ARC-210 Gen 3/4 radios with modernized ARC-210 Gen 6 radios and associative aircraft wiring/software in order to support the new radios. Additionally, the program plans to incorporate Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) Satellite Communication capability that supports the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) directive to move all DoD assets to MUOS constellation (70% by FY26). This increment will lay in Ethernet cable required by MUOS Data (J-REAP C), install MUOS ancillaries (HPA/LNA), and additional software to execute MUOS capability on the aircraft.
