Beyond Line of Sight
Abstract
Beyond Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) modernization modifications is a development, integration, and retrofit program for C-17 communications. BLOS modifies and improves hardware and software for voice and data communications on the C-17. The program will modify both integrated aircraft avionics as well as back-end mission communications and could utilize both military and commercial satellite systems to extend communication ranges. The current efforts include but are not limited to AERO-I modernization (multi-channel voice and data delivered via an intermediate-gain antenna), increased broadband and secure data capability. It includes support for on going flight test, software labs, system engineering, program management and engineering/acquisition studies not related to requirements generation.
