  4. Advanced EHF (AEHF) Architecture AEHF and Milstar Will Operate as an Integrated Network for Users

  5. Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) Satellite Program • 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 AEHF-2 in Production

  6. AEHF New Capabilities • 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 resources AEHF-1 in Acoustic Test AEHF is More Flexible and Faster than Legacy EHF Systems

  7. Protected Communications - EHF Tomorrow Today • 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

  8. Future Technology: Advanced Concepts Group (ACG) • 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 MILSATCOM Enables Product Group focus on delivery
