Early Combatant Command Use (ECU)

• STRATCOM officially accepted MUOS WCDMA for ECU on 8 July 2016

• Approved for testing, training, exercises, and CONOPS development

• Incremental expansion of operations as system and processes mature for Standard Combatant Command Acceptance with unrestricted operations

9

MUOS UPDATE (NDIA) PMW-146-D-16-0138

Vision Going Forward

• Widespread availability of MUOS capable terminals Multiple platforms (Handheld, Aircraft, etc.) Air Force ACC has purchased 300 PRC-117G licenses Navy Expeditionary Combatant Command (NECC) purchased

~350 PRC-117 terminals

• Narrowband SATCOM interoperability between terminal types and warfighter partners Legacy, WCDMA, and Coalition Partners

• Transition from legacy UHF SATCOM to MUOS WCDMA communications

How Can Industry Help?

• End-User Applications for MUOS

Define the standards for applications Develop, integrate, and verify existing / new applications Concepts for an “app store”

• Industry Use Consortiums

Share knowledge on MUOS use and CONOPS – Application developers, terminal makers, providers of ancillaries and tools – Information Assurance , key management, provisioning

Provide feedback on common solutions/enhancements to improve MUOS

• New terminal uses for MUOS platforms / missions • Small and Nanosats

Rapidly deliver new capability to meet emerging Naval space needs Develop, integrate, and verify software applications for cubesat-sized payloads Provide concepts for small satellite resiliency

Summary

12

• MUOS is replacing current UHF SATCOM constellation 4 satellites fielded and providing Legacy UHF SATCOM Ground system production complete and deployed Waveform completed and integrated with multiple terminals WCDMA is in Early Combatant Command Use Incrementally expand operations

• The net-centric, IP based capabilities of MUOS

provides the opportunity to re-think how we use tactical narrowband STACOM
