PMW 146 Portfolio

2

As Legacy capacity degrades, transition to WCDMA is critical

UHF Follow-On (UFO) JROC Requirement:72 UHF SATCOM Channels per AOR or 200 Accesses per AOR288 UHF Channels Worldwide or 800 Total Accesses Worldwide

Assumes all legacy channels are DAMA5kHz channel = 1 access and 25 kHz channel = 5 accesses

Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) JROC Threshold Requirement:3.0 Mbps in single theater (502 simultaneous accesses)

39.2 Mbps worldwide (1,997 simultaneous accesses)

UFO (1993-TBD) Capability – Replaced the Fleet Satellite (FLTSAT) constellation – 8 Satellite architecture

– 2 satellites per AOR – 14 year design life

– 4 of 5 remaining UFOs beyond design life – UFO-2 beyond 10 degrees inclination; still providing service – Capacity augmented by FLTSAT-7, FLTSAT-8, and IS-22

MUOS (2012-TBD) Capability – Replaces the current UFO constellation – 5 satellite architecture

– 1 satellite per AOR with an on-orbit spare – 15 year design life – Two Payloads (Legacy and WCDMA)

– WCDMA has 10x capacity of Legacy – Full Operational Capability (FOC) in FY 2020


MUOS Architecture

MUOS Capabilities

• 3G cellular features

• 10x increase in capacity over UFO

• Worldwide coverage65 N to 65 S Latitude

• All IP architecture

• Priority based access

• Access to NIPRNet,SIPRNet, and DSN (Internet and Phone)

• Legacy Payload on each satellite

OS ( )

MUOS is the next generation of UHF Narrowband SATCOM System4


Capability Transition

From Dedicated, Circuit-based,Closed networks

To On Demand, IP Based, Adhoc Networks

Sender and Receiver must be in the same satellite footprint World-wide coverage for any Sender and Receiver

MUOS Operational Use

• Legacy payload in operations supporting warfighter missions

• WCDMA payload accepted by USSTRATCOM for Early Combatant Command Use July 8, 2011

Approved for testing, training, exercises, and CONOPS development

Incremental expansion of operations as system and processes mature

Standard Combatant Command Acceptance expected in early FY20

Going Forward

• Transition from Legacy to WCDMA is imperativeUFO constellation is beyond design life

• MUOS terminal population will continue to growMultiple platforms – Manpack, Aircraft, Ship, SubmarineAN/PRC-117G likely first to operations with Air Force Air Combat Command, Navy Expeditionary Combatant Command, and USMC

• Interoperability will be requiredLegacy to WCMDA via DISA emerging technologies (MVG and MLGC)Exploring international partner access to WCDMA

11


How Can Industry Help?

• Modern, sustainable ground infrastructureLeverage industry best practices for both hardware and softwareCybersecurity is a must

• Planning and Provisioning Tools for Narrowband SATCOM

• End User ApplicationsDefine the standardsDevelop, integrate, and verify new and existing applications

• Small and NanosatsRapid, inexpensive means to satisfy emerging Naval space needsResiliency through numbers

12


Summary

• MUOS is the replacement to UFO

Satellites, ground, and waveform are fielded

Waveform is integrated in multiple terminals

Legacy is supporting unrestricted Legacy operations

WCDMA is available for test, training, and exercises

WCDMA will be available for limited operational use next year

• The IP based capabilities of WCDMA will require the DoD to re-think how to use tactical Narrowband SATCOM in the future

Industry can help shape that future
