Description
Mission — Family of Advanced BLoS Terminals (FAB-T)
Activities funded in this program element continue to pay for AN/USQ-225 integration into multiple legacy systems, other ongoing NC3 acquisition programs, and future capabilities for the overall AF NC3 WS. The Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T) - Command Post Terminal (CPT), Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) Integrator, and Force Element Terminal (FET) programs - transitioned from AFPEO/SP to AFPEO/NC3 effective December 2018. The FAB-T - Command Post Terminal (FAB-T CPT) project replaces legacy Milstar (AFCPT) terminals and will provide Extremely High Frequency (EHF) protected high data rate communication for nuclear and conventional forces to include PNVC. FAB-T CPT will provide this new, highly secure, state-of-the-art capability for Department of Defense (DoD) platforms to include strategic platforms and airborne/ground command posts via Milstar, and Advanced EHF (AEHF), and Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) satellite constellations. FAB-T CPTs will also support the critical command and control (C2) of the Milstar, Advanced EHF (AEHF), and Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) satellite constellations. The Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) Integrator project is a critical element of the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) System. PNVC integrator replaces the Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network (SECN) capability, and will provide anti-jam, anti-scintillation, survivable, and enduring voice communications via AEHF and ESS satellite constellations for national and strategic users. There are several components being developed and procured by other organizations that must be synchronized to expeditiously field the capability. The PNVC Integrator is responsible for end-to-end integration of these components, to include requirements traceability, end-to-end system testing, configuration and checkout activities, training and technical manuals, network transition support, identification of deficiencies in overall PNVC system capability, enterprise, and life cycle support for PNVC components. The AFPEO/SP approved entry into the acquisition lifecycle as a post MS-A Acquisition Category (ACAT) III Program of Record in January 2016. Starting in December 2018, PNVC Integrator became responsible for the funding requests of all program elements related to the Defense Information Systems and Agency (DISA) components of the PNVC System in accordance with FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, Sec. 1661. In March 2019, the AFPEO/NC3 declared the PNVC Integrator an ACAT II Program based on the inclusion of DISA funding in the program budget. FY 2026 transfer of $67.793M from Space Force (PE 1203001SF / Project 673040 / Appropriation 3620 / Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation) to Air Force (PE 0303131F, Project 673040 / Appropriation 3600 / Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation) Transfer Memo signed 12 Nov 2024. The FAB-T - Force Element Terminal (FAB-T FET) program replaces the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Milstar terminals and provides secure, protected, and survivable communications for the strategic warfighter through airborne-based Military Satellite Communication (MILSATCOM) terminals. The FAB-T FET will provide worldwide nuclear and non-nuclear, survivable, anti-jam Low Probability of Detect (LPD)/ Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) data and voice communications. The FAB-T FET will be interoperable with Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF), Enhanced Polar Systems - Recapitalization (EPS-R), and satellite constellations utilizing waveforms and will be installed on the B-52 aircraft (threshold). FAB-T FET was designated as a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) in February 2019. The FY 2026 cost of the FAB-T FET Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is reflected in the budget request, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype. The Department will certify Future Year Defense Program funding in a future budget submission. FAB-T FET is planned to transition to the Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) Pathway at Milestone C. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY24 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY25 $0.000 is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
Mission — Presidential and National Voice Conferencing
The Presidential and National Voice Conferencing (PNVC) Integrator project is a critical element of the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) System. PNVC integrator replaces the Survivable Emergency Conferencing Network (SECN) capability, and will provide anti-jam, anti-scintillation, survivable, and enduring voice communications via Milstar, Advanced EHF, and ESS satellite constellations for national and strategic users. There are several components being developed, procured and updated by other organizations that must be synchronized to expeditiously field this capability. The PNVC Integrator is responsible for end-to-end integration of these components, to include requirements traceability, end-to-end system testing, configuration and checkout activities, training and technical manuals, network transition support, identification of deficiencies in overall PNVC system capability, enterprise, and life cycle support for PNVC components. The AFPEO/SP approved entry into the acquisition life-cycle as a post MS-A Acquisition Category (ACAT) III Program of Record in January 2016. In March 2019 the AFPEO/NC3 declared the PNVC Integrator an ACAT II Program based on updated approved budget request. Starting in December 2018 PNVC Integrator became responsible for the funding requests of all program elements related to the Defense Information Systems and Agency (DISA) components of the PNVC System in accordance with FY 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, Sec. 1661. In October 2021, PNVC completed Milestone B/C.
Mission — Force Element Terminal
The FAB-T - Force Element Terminal (FAB-T FET) program replaces the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Milstar terminal and provides secure, protected, and survivable communications for the strategic warfighter through airborne-based Military Satellite Communication (MILSATCOM) terminals. The FAB-T FET will provide worldwide nuclear and non-nuclear, survivable, anti-jam Low Probability of Detect (LPD)/ Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) data and voice communications. The FAB-T FET will be interoperable with Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF), Enhanced Polar Systems - Recapitalization (EPS-R), and satellite constellations utilizing waveforms and will be installed on the B-52 aircraft (threshold).

Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →
Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.
| Recipient | PIID | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| RAYTHEON COMPANY | FA870513C0005 | high |
| RAYTHEON COMPANY | FA873520C0003 | medium |
Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
