Advanced EHF (AEHF) Architecture
AEHF and Milstar Will Operate as an Integrated Network for Users
5
• Provides secure, survivable anti-jam, anti-scintillation communications for strategic and tactical users• 24-hour low, medium, and high data
rate satellite connectivity from 65°N to 65°S latitude worldwide
• Assured mission-critical strategic networks
• Low Probability of Detection and Interception
• Successor to Milstar with greater capacity • Backward compatible with legacy
Milstar terminals• Cooperative agreements with
Canada, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands
Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Satellite Program
AEHF-2 in Production

AEHF New Capabilities
AEHF is More Flexible and Faster than Legacy EHF Systems
Increased Coverage, Capacity & Flexibility • 10x Improvement in System Capacity
• 5x Increase in Data Rate• 6x Number of Terminals • 3x Number of Networks
• Legacy Terminal Compatible• Satellite Command & Control
• 2x Capacity• Backward Compatible for TT&C of Milstar
• Responsive Mission Planning• Centralized Apportionment - Decentralized Control• 4x Increase in number of fences
• Milstar: 100 fences at single level• AEHF: 440 fences on three levels
• Resources assigned to a fence form a “virtual constellation” that cannot be co-opted
• UCCs have control over their assigned resourcesAEHF-1 in Acoustic Test

Protected Communications - EHF
•Milstar I/II • Survivable comm for strategic mission
• Up to 2.4 kbps (Anti-Scintillation)
• Protected comm for tactical users• Up to 1.544 Mbps (Anti-Jamming)
• 40 Mbps capacity per satellite• 2 Milstar I & 3 Milstar II on orbit• Constellation has provided 50+ years of SATCOM to Warfighters
Advanced EHF(AEHF) Expanded survivable comm capabilities
Up to 19.2 kbps (Anti-Scintillation) Expanded protected comm capabilities
Up to 8 Mbps (Anti-Jamming) 430 Mbps capacity per satellite Four satellites International program: Canada, United
Kingdom, the Netherlands Backward compatible with Milstar I/II
AF Terminals support Protected satellites/services; developing expanded capability through FAB-T Inc 1, GEMS, MMP Upgrade and SMART-T

Future Technology: Advanced Concepts Group (ACG)
8
• Initiates space/ground Capability Insertion Programs (CIPs)• Terminals, networks, operations and user domains• Leads Pre-Contract activities for all MILSATCOM Products• Supports Industry Base
• Enterprise perspective across components• Standards, usage concepts, product alignments
• Harvests TSAT technology• Update/align residual artifacts supported by select supplier talent to new
Capability Improvements
• Supports A5 requirements processes • Projected FY10 AFSPC/A5-led Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and
MILSATCOM ICD
• CDD development - In FY11
More efficient enterprise alignment across MILSATCOMEnables Product Group focus on delivery
