0603430F Advanced MILSATCOM

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

Develop and acquire advanced extremely high frequency (EHF) Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) satellites with necessary modifications to the mission control segment for survivable, jam-resistant, worldwide, secure communications for the strategic and tactical warfighter. Advanced EHF satellites will replenish the existing EHF (Milstar) system. It will use standardized spacecraft components which will be launched on a Medium Launch Vehicle (MLV). The Advanced EHF capability will be available for first launch not later than 2006. The activities funded under this program element implement the Secretary of Defense's 1993 MILSATCOM Bottom Up Review decision to field a lower cost, advanced MILSATCOM satellite. This program is in Budget Activity Research Category Demonstration and Validation based on direction from the FY95 Defense Planning Guidance. Acquisition streamlining approaches are being considered for implementation on the Advanced EHF Program. The Advanced EHF Program implements the architecture defined by the DoD Space Architect and directed by the Joint Space Management Board. In previous years, this program element included funds for the advanced SHF satellite; however, that funding has recently been moved to the Global Broadcast Service (GBS) program element, 63854F.

(U) Change Summary Explanation:

Funding: Funding reduction in FY99 reflects revised Engineering Model cost estimate and elimination of funding for a military-unique SHF development from this PE. FY98 reduction also reflects termination of analog to digital converter and frequency synthesizer technology project contracts forcing the use of older technology with higher weight and cost.
