Who gets it
No single contractor is published as this line's leader. Award records are linked to this program — see Related Awards below — but no concentration index is published for it: the crosswalk computes concentration on budget line 3010, which more than one program uses, and more than one of them carries linked awards; the index is published only when one program carries every link on the line. 3 linked award records are listed below. Why the crosswalk is partial.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description

Description — Shipboard Tactical Comms

Funding provides for the procurement and installation of Integrated Waveform (IW) and Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) Digital Modular Radio (DMR) systems and IW and MUOS upgrade kits. DMR Upgrade kits are the components required to enhance formerly fielded systems with the IW and MUOS capability. DMR is a four-channel software defined radio that provides 18 satellite communications and Line of Sight (LOS) waveforms across the High Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) spectrum. DMR systems and DMR Upgrades Kits provide primary command and control communications capabilities to surface, submarine, and shore facilities. This variant of the DMR, including upgrade kits, provides hardware to support the IW/MUOS capability, which is the replacement to the end-of-life UHF Follow-On satellite (UFO) constellation. This system is formally specified by both Fleet Commanders as a threshold capability for global maritime command, control, and communications in a Distributed Maritime Environment to execute current warfighting plans and is required for National Command and Control capability. The aging Legacy UHF SATCOM constellation should not be counted on for continued voice and data, past the currently projected end-of-life dates. Furthermore, the NSA has directed all HAIPE platforms to upgrade to the Advanced Cryptographic Capability to address advancing Cyber threats. Funding will also be used for NSA-mandated cryptographic modernization requirement for MUOS waveform 3.2. DMR is funded to field DMR enhancements for Dynamic Local Scanning (DLS) and Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) upgrade capabilities (DMR eDSu). DMR eDSu supports NSA-mandated cryptographic modernizations in order to keep pace with rapidly evolving cyber security threats and meet emerging operational demands. These technical insertions include DMR v6.5.6, which delivers an NSA-mandated Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) 3.1 software upgrade to the DMR systems with a hardware component to support the fleet with Dynamic Local Scanning (DLS) capabilities. DLS is a feature for MUOS transmit, which scans the local spectrum and prevents signal interference during MUOS transmissions and is required per MIL-STD 188/187A. SINCGARS provides VHF-FM low band anti-jam frequency hopping communications ISO joint USMC-USN operations.

Justification

Justification — Shipboard Tactical Comms

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →

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.

Oversight

Department-level designation (not specific to this program)

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Shipboard Tactical Communications. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
